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.
We Need Your Input!

Part of the “Rooted in Nature: Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Resiliency” online speaker series, this talk focuses on the power of indigenous land management practices that have taken place for thousands of years, and the importance of traditional ecological knowledge in the preservation of these native ecological systems that have been severely damaged by human and industry impact for hundreds of years. Guest speaker: Leslie Jonas
Currently, the condition of the water is critical as our waterways are sick and dying. This current condition threatens the lifeways of the local indigenous people who have lived and thrived in these natural environments for millenia. Concepts like Rewilding were introduced to reverse biodiversity loss but can exclude the local traditional ecological knowledge systems that have kept the natural world in balance since time immemorial.
