FAIRHOPE– The city of Fairhope will reopen the comment period for the RESTORE Working Waterfront project, Mayor Sherry Sullivan announced during the City Council meeting on Monday.
The Working Waterfront project is the first of the city’s RESTORE grant projects to begin. The project includes improvements to the shoreline and bluffs located at Fairhope Pier and South Beach Park.
The main criterion for the project involves improvements to the Mobile Bay shore to improve resiliency, sustainability and human interaction with the waterfront. Initial engagement for this project began in the winter of 2020 and was paused following the COVID-19 pandemic and public concern over the proposed design.
Comments will be accepted by email, mail and in envelopes dropped off at City Hall until the close of business on Monday, Nov. 30. Comments on social media or in social media groups will not be considered. Emails can be sent to workingwaterfront@fairhopeal.gov; mail-in comments can be sent to Working Waterfront, c/o City of Fairhope, PO Drawer 429, Fairhope, AL 36533.
