Hyannis Harbor Resilient Master Plan

FPA helped the Town of Barnstable develop an integrated land use, infrastructure, and public space strategy for the Hyannis Harbor District study area. Our team’s work included grant funding support; a site-specific coastal vulnerability assessment for town-owned and private assets; development of conceptual flood resilience strategies; initial land use recommendations; preliminary zoning and design guidelines; initial economic development recommendations; and community engagement and outreach. The plan provides targeted recommendations for regulations and specific implementation actions aimed at revitalizing the harbor into an adaptive and resilient regional hub, including recommendations for the renovation of two important waterfront parks and other open spaces, a comprehensive wayfinding strategy, a new continuous harborwalk, new gateways, and improved waterfront amenities.
