What’s in store next for the evolving River District includes a new franchise hotel to attract larger conventions for its Harborside Event Center, as well as adjoining waterfront restaurant and retail space. A new age 55-plus community will replace an old vacant hotel, and new mixed-use and condo community projects at a range of price points are moving forward as retirees, international tourists, young professionals and second-home buyers seek the unique, premium quality lifestyle that the River District affords. “Our vision is almost coming to fruition,” Mayor Henderson says. “We want every first-time visitor’s takeaway to be — ‘Wow! I’m planning right now to visit again. I may consider living here!’ When that happens, we’ve achieved our objective for the River District.”

Making it the place to be.
