Request for Qualifications For The King Street Initiative

packages must be received by no later than 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 13, 2008.

The City has most recently issued a Request for Qualifications for developers and builders that are interested in enhancing the housing/business stock along the City’s waterfront area, which is part of a Citywide revitalization effort that began in 2007 calling for the King Street corridor to become a festival retail and entertainment destination by locating stores, restaurants, and housing near the existing waterfront park and marina.

As part of a much larger plan, the conversion of the King Street corridor into a regional destination is just one of the recommendations contained in a Community Insights™ market analysis and retail assessment that was conducted last year by the JGSC Group of Pennsauken, who are currently serving as the City’s business recruitment and retention consultants funded and coordinated by the Gloucester City Urban Enterprise Zone.

To view tax maps for the King Street corridor please click below:
