Our approach is to create activities and spaces that benefit both groups, nurture economic connections between the two, foster their mutual appreciation, and make the waterfront neighborhood they share a better place to live, work and visit. PortSide NewYork will develop and operate a Maritime Hub including a museum exploring contemporary maritime practices; host recreational, educational and cultural programs and retail services; and run a maritime career center. PortSide NewYork manifests a new vision for how to revitalize New York City’s waterfront and create waterside public spaces without displacing the maritime functions essential to the city’s transportation infrastructure.
