The Waterfront Park Communications Committee was formed by City Council in May of 2005 with the purpose of providing an open line of communication to the community for information regarding the renovation of the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.  Additionally, the Committee was tasked with developing a plan to maintain the vitality of the central business district throughout the project. 

The Committee has worked hard thus far to provide support and preparation for the Waterfront Park groundbreaking celebration, as well as in the development of a communications plan to ensure that the community stays informed of the impacts of park construction.  Several tools have been developed to keep the public informed of construction activity.  They include:

• Email advisories
• A weekly update in the Beaufort Gazette (published each Saturday on the inside cover)
• Weekly "Coffee with the Contractor" sessions (held each Friday at 8 a.m.)

Throughout construction, the Committee will be promoting continued activity in the central business district.  Enhanced and coordinated marketing efforts, along with a number of special events, will continue to ensure vitality in the downtown area.  Check this site often for updates on events.
