Keeping Our Capital City above Water
Imagine a visit to the Annapolis City Dock five years from now.
If now continues unto then, that jewel of our capital city National Historic Landmark District — called “one of the most intact and authentic colonial towns in the entire nation” by Preservation Maryland — will be a parking lot that floods with ever-greater frequency.
However if the latest ambitious vision comes to pass, City Dock will be a model of and for creative re-development, sensitivity to historic values and resilience to future flooding.
Getting to such a place won’t have been quick or easy.
Just last year, City Dock appeared at the top of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in the U.S.
