Long-term management and economic decisions for the Newport Harbor/Waterfront will be most effective when rooted in sound economic baseline data. This effort provided detailed data and inventory of the broader economic context along the waterfront. It is expected that this information can then be used to assist local decision makers in the evaluation of future development proposals and their implications on the long-term economic health and vibrancy of Newport Harbor.
