This year's conference will focus on helping Waterfront Stakeholders form a Harlem River Working Group to work toward restoring the Harlem River; reconnecting the waterfront with the people; recreating the water's edge; and reinvigorating in-the-water recreational and commercial activities.
Breakout groups will organize around stakeholder interests and parks or access points along Harlem River, such as: Spuyten Duyvil, Marble Hill, University Heights Bridge, Roberto Clemente, Bridge Park, Depot Place, Yankee Stadium Replacement Parks, and Harlem River Park Ave. Proposed Park, Lincoln Avenue Street End.
After the Panel discussion, coffee, tea, and a buffet supper will be served. Following the conference, BCEQ will hold its annual membership meeting from 7 to 9 p.m.
