Impact analysis
Expect big public and private spending up front, with potential hotel and ferry revenue later—but taxpayers could be on the hook if projections miss.
Hotel developers, restaurants, and ferry riders stand to gain from more foot traffic and new amenities.
Locals could face higher rents, more traffic, and parking headaches—and waterfront access may get more crowded or privatized.
