The heart of downtown, City Dock at the Annapolis Harbor, is undergoing a historic transformation. As part of the long-planned effort to address flooding, enhance public spaces, and preserve our maritime heritage, the City Dock Resiliency & Revitalization Project will create a dynamic, elevated waterfront park at the water’s edge. The project began in 2019, when Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley convened nearly 100 stakeholders — businesses, residents and subject matter experts — to come up with a solution to more frequent and more intense flooding that threatens commerce and the very buildings that make historic downtown a top destination. 

A multi-phased construction project, set to begin fall of 2025, will not only create the infrastructure to protect our City from the impacts of sea level rise, but will also deliver a world-class public gathering space with striking views that, for the past century, have been primarily reserved for parked cars. While phased construction is underway over the next three years (2025 to 2027), we’re committed to keeping residents, businesses, and visitors informed and supported every step of the way. We thank you for your patience and we can’t wait to cut the ribbon on this critical project!
