One of the primary functions of the study has been to review existing initiatives currently under development. The Master Plan ultimately adopted must clearly define, organize, and prioritize these initiatives and integrate them into the overall strategy. The support of all groups involved with these initiatives will be critical to the success of the City Center Initiative particularly with regard to securing funds at the state level.

The existing initiatives are discussed as appropriate throughout the Master Plan discussion in the following section and are recapped at the end of that section. The initiatives include:

Harbor Brook Flood Control and Restoration Project
