Dear Community:
On behalf of the Port of Coupeville, I am pleased to present the updated 2022 Comprehensive Scheme of Harbor Improvements (CSHI). The CSHI was last adopted in February 2018 following a vigorous effort by the Citizens Advisory Council. This council hosted a series of public meetings and worked tireless hours to support the future of the Port and the community it serves. Its support of the process in 2018 has paved the way for where we are now.
Since 2018 the Port has been engaged in pursuing several very important projects and initiatives, as outlined in the 2018 CSHI, to preserve and revitalize many of the historic assets entrusted to the Port. From the onset it has long been recognized that for the Port to be successful in protecting these valued assets and enhancing the local economy, it would have to make substantial capital investments in infrastructure and public assets such as the Greenbank Farm and historic Coupeville Wharf. To that end, in 2021, the Port’s Commission and Executive Director had successfully executed the creation of a district -wide Industrial Development District and levied a special tax to generate sufficient resources to make the necessary investments in these valuable assets. This 2022 update to the CSHI captures the specifics of the intended use of these funds. Thank you for your continuing support of the Port as we strive to meet the needs of our community and preserve our rich heritage.
Sincerely,
Chris Michalopoulos Executive Director, Port of Coupeville
