Providence Deserves a Public Waterfront.

Cities all over the world, which are blessed with ocean or bay views, have learned one principle — the greater the public's access, the more valuable their harbor areas become. Fox Point's shoreline at Narragansett Bay, which includes the state-owned Shooters site, offers Providence a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Adjacent to the increasingly popular attraction, India Point Park, this location could ensure that Providence would have a vibrant public waterfront — the signature of a great city.

City and state officials are now beginning to listen to the vision of an active public waterfront expressed by a legion of supporters. Now is the time, for a consensus to form &mdash across all lines &mdash to call for Shooters, the most critical piece of the puzzle, to be included in a public waterfront for Providence.

"Public use" for Shooters means taking advantage of the site's deepwater port as the necessary maritime link to other modes of transportation that meet here. Through a public-private partnership, it could become Providence Gateway, a marina-based, multiple use facility that would trigger needed tax revenues for the City and State.
