North Bay Project Background

The Port's priorities for continued investment in Interbay are:

Protecting the working waterfront on Piers 90 and 91
Growing the Interbay neighborhood's existing maritime/industrial businesses
Bringing jobs back to North Bay's mostly vacant 57 acres

The Port has revitalized Piers 90 and 91 with the investment of more than $100 million.

Master planning for North Bay, located just north of the Magnolia Bridge, began in the fall of 2003. This project aims to further enhance the livability of the surrounding neighborhoods and transform the property into an asset that provides jobs and tangible community benefits.

Project gains further definition through planning, design work and environmental review

In 2005, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was issued for North Bay.

North Bay Melds Maritime, Industry, Community and New Jobs

Adjacent to North Bay is a 30-acre marine industrial core and 40-acre working waterfront. Development at North Bay would complement this core and the Interbay neighborhood.

Annually, Piers 90 and 91 contribute thousands of jobs to the economy. Trident Seafoods, CityIce Cold Storage and Carnitech are integral elements of Terminal 91's industrial core.

North Bay is a large site and has the potential to bring together several industries. "We hope partnering with the City allows us to fully tap the potential of North Bay to benefit the taxpayers, city and region," said Mark Griffin, real estate development manager for the Port.

Adding a mixed-use development at North Bay could mean:

6,000 to 12,000 new jobs
$1 to $1.9 million in wages
$150 to $240 million annually in state and local taxes
