Media Release

Gloucester City, NJ, July 1, 2008 – The Schooner \”Northwind\” will sail from Greenwich, NJ, to its new home at Freedom Pier, in the City of Gloucester, providing the city with a symbol of its revitalization project which is developing the Delaware River waterfront corridor along King and Water streets into a multifaceted, festive retail and entertainment destination with a predominant Irish Village theme.

WHO:
William James, Mayor of Gloucester City, and other city officials.

WHAT:
Will welcome the Schooner Northwind to its new home as an addition to the City of Gloucester\’s revitalization project. The City will dually name the schooner to include \”Saoirse Ceallaigh,\” an Irish-Gaelic term for `Freedom from Strife.\’ This is done to commemorate and memorialize not only the Irish, who represent 42% of the city\’s population, but all immigrants who fled their native lands to come to America to be `free.\’

WHEN:
Saturday, July 5, estimated time of arrival in Gloucester City, 4:00 p.m.

WHERE:
Freedom Pier, Cumberland Street and the Delaware River, Gloucester City, NJ.

WHY:
Plans call for using the former sail training 75-foot vessel for public sailing excursions up and down the river and as a working marine educational exhibit, attracting maritime business and programs for adults and youth. The city recently purchased the schooner with funds from its Urban Development Action Grant.

Along with the schooner, a 65-foot, 150-passenger excursion boat, The Flagship, will operate from the pier throughout the summer, offering sightseeing excursions and group charters; and the development of an outdoor cafe at the pier is underway.

The City of Gloucester recently completed a Community Insights revitalization study, which identified strategies to renew its older, underutilized retail districts. The study determined three primary areas for renewal, including recreating the Delaware River waterfront corridor along King and Water streets into a multi-faceted retail and entertainment destination, a second district along Broadway between Jersey Avenue and Division street, Powell Street to Hudson Street and Essex Street to Linden Street, focused on increasing everyday, residential retail, such as places to eat, personal services, health care and groceries, and the third district adjacent to the convergence of Rt. 130 and I-76 leading to the Walt Whitman Bridge, which would be suitable for additional regional retail catering to commuters and transient traffic, such as furniture stores, home improvement centers or automobile dealerships.
