In February, the city said it would put aside $140,000 from a $1 million Seaport Economic Council grant to "to embark on a harbor planning and community visioning effort that will revise the Salem Harbor Plan."

"For over a decade we have focused on establishing Salem's historic port as a central part of our economic strength and our community's vitality," Mayor Kim Driscoll said at the time. "Our connection to our waterfront is and always has been one of Salem's defining assets and greatest economic forces."
