Cape Charles Harbor Master Plan Cape Charles, Virginia
The Town of Cape Charles owns 21.4 acres of waterfront property within Cape Charles Harbor. The town retained Langley & McDonald/ECH, JV to prepare a master plan for these parcels. In association with Via Design Architects, the master plan developed with the following philosophy:
- Improve the image and marketability of Cape Charles
- Promote the area as a special place to live, work recreate and visit
- establish an environmentally friendly pedestrian and public space
- Build upon and improve current design guidelines
- Support realistic and obtainable budgets
- Raise the profile of the Town of Cape Charles
This philosophy is attained with a new 44-slip marina for large boats (>45'), new dockmaster's building and ships store, realigned small boat marina, and a special events pavilion on the southside. Attendant to the large boat marina will be a restaurant, kiosks and new bathhouse with open gathering places.
Phase 1 construction proceeded in 2011with completion of the large boat marina, bathhouse and restaurant.
