🤝 With the completion of the pier’s structural analysis, led by EPA’s Targeted Brownfields Assessment #TAB Program, our #NewEngland Brownfields staff recently met with @CityPortland and Land Revitalization #TechnicalAssistance contractors to check out the site and connect with project stakeholders about the future of the pier. 🗺️ 🏙️ #DidYouKnow? One of the goals of this development project is to provide better pedestrian connections for adjacent ferry terminals, green space, and the historic #OldTown neighborhood.
