Support From Mayor Stimpson

Mayor Sandy Stimpson made the following comment about the Brookley by the Bay plan in his nightly message to the city.

“From tidal flats and marshes to forested wetlands and shallow lagoons, the biodiversity and natural beauty of the waterfront will be the true centerpiece of this park. The master plan also aims to carefully weave in programmed areas that will support waterfront access, recreational activities, public events and gatherings, entertainment and educational resources.”

Mayor Stimpson also thanked  Volkert, SCAPE, Moffatt & Nichol, Thompson and the many City of Mobile staff members who helped lead this effort.
