Peabody North River Corridor Plan Public Forum @ North Shore Children's Museum
Oct 26 @ 12:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Share your thoughts at the public forum on the developing plan for the North River Corridor on Wednesday, October 26 at the North Shore Children’s Museum (10 Main Street, Peabody).

Open House:
12:00 – 6:30 p.m. – Come by at anytime

Guided Walks:
2:00 and 4:00 p.m. – Weather permitting

 

Peabody has partnered with MAPC to develop a plan for the North River Corridor, focused on environmental resiliency, economic revitalization, and appropriate housing.

Over the last several years the City has been planning for this area’s future. The North River Corridor will be home to the river walk, a multi-modal pedestrian pathway, which will eventually extend all the way to Salem Depot (MBTA commuter rail train station). The City has also made great strides to address flooding that affects the area and working on ways to improve the corridor.

This plan seeks to build on the previous plans by developing detailed strategies, focused on regulatory changes that will allow the area to grow in a way that is responsible and compatible with the community’s vision.
