600 West Holly Street Project

The vacant brownfield site just west of Maritime Heritage Park on Holly Street is owned by the City of Bellingham, with management of the property by the BPDA. The BPDA Strategic Plan advocates that this site could be used for resource-based development related to fisheries or agricultural businesses.  These uses, which may be either interim uses until future development feasibility for more urban uses improves, or permanent, would be consistent with the nature of the site, serve to attract visitor traffic to the area, and minimize conflict with current uses in the area that are incompatible with more urban development uses.  Preference would be for uses that would contribute to the diversity of the community's economic base and strengthen existing economic sectors.

Uses of the 2.2-acre parcel for which environmental clean-up and remediation has been partially completed for future redevelopment will be determined and per requirements of the Consent Decree issued by the Department of Ecology.
