The NOAA/Seadrome Facility provides 700 linear feet of moorage and ample uplands for parking, staging, and pedestrian circulation. There is the potential and flexibility to extend the existing seawalk, connecting from the whale fountain through to Franklin Dock. The location also meets the small cruise lines objective for a central downtown location and has the preliminary support from NOAA and Goldbelt, although details will need to be worked out to move this forward.
The NOAA/Seadrome site has been selected as the CBJ Docks and Harbors preferred development plan for several reasons. The advantages of the NOAA/Seadrome site include:
- Space to safely provide 700 LF of moorage for small cruise ships.
- Ample uplands for parking staging and pedestrian circulation.
- Flexibility for the community Seawalk extension.
- Meets small cruise line objectives for central downtown location.
- The proposed development has preliminary support from affected property stakeholders - NOAA and Goldbelt.
