The Revitalization of Fulton Ferry: A Prototype for Waterfront Redevelopment in New York City
A review of Fulton Ferry revitalization begins with an examination of the area's history, influential forces, proposed redevelopment schemes, and completed projects. This 17th-century settlement has changed from a prosperous shipping center to an isolated, deteriorating waterfront. Virtually every proposal to redevelop the area has received opposition from political or community groups. However, small-scale private renewal has successfully renovated some buildings of architectural interest. After much debate, the region became the Fulton Ferry Historic District in June 1977. Other recent developments include a park, a floating restaurant, and the renovation of a 1926 fireboat house which now houses the Bridge Museum and the National Maritime Historical Society. If private and government interests cooperate, they would make Fulton Ferry a prototype revitalization area, an economic and cultural asset to all of New York City.
