In March 2006, the BRA submitted a Municipal Harbor Plan Amendment for the redevelopment of Lovejoy Wharf to the Secretary of Environmental Affairs. The MHP Amendment was subsequently approved by the Secretary of Environmental Affairs on October 12, 2006. The MHP Amendment will further the City’s goals for the waterfront in this area by expanding Harborwalk, creating new open space and pedestrian connections, and providing various public waterfront amenities including a new water transportation terminal.
