Latest Update
December 10, 2024 – The recording of the Thursday, December 5 meeting of the Annapolis Planning Commission, where they reviewed the proposal for the Maritime Welcome Center and the new park/landscaping at the end of Prince George Street in front of the Burtis House, can be viewed here.
The Planning Commission ultimately approved the site design for the Maritime Welcome Center at this meeting. The Maritime Welcome Center’s application is expected to be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission in early 2025.
November 20, 2024 – As the City of Annapolis proceeds with planning for the City Dock Resiliency Project, there are many questions being asked about various elements of the project. Historic Annapolis is currently producing a series of videos to help residents better understand various aspects of what is being proposed.
These short but in-depth explanations of historical elements, design components, and resiliency terms can help residents better understand the project design, and how the city plans to move forward with construction.
And while the overall plan is whole-heartedly supported by Historic Annapolis, some elements do give us concern, as they run contrary to established preservation and resiliency practices. We want to be part of a successful city project that moves our great city forward while respecting our historical past. HA will continue to apply our motto — Preserve. Protect. Connect. — to our advocacy regarding the greatest infrastructure project in the city’s history and the key to making our fragile historic port city resilient in the face of climate change.

Upcoming Dates
Stay Tuned: The Maritime Welcome Center’s application is expected to be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission in early 2025.
Overview
For more than a decade, Historic Annapolis has held a leadership role in working with the City of Annapolis and the community in reimagining City Dock. The redevelopment provides a prime opportunity for resiliency infrastructure to protect our fragile historic port from flooding. Resiliency at City Dock is preservation of the historic district.
The City Dock project, currently going through layered and phased governmental (local, state, and federal) review and approval, will be the largest infrastructure project in Annapolis’s history and provide crucial flood barrier protection. In addition to providing flood mitigation, locals and visitors will benefit from a new raised public park on the waterside of Dock Street.
HA is a proponent of complete flood barrier protection and the amenity of a new public park. However, we have consistently raised questions about the location and scale of the proposed new Maritime Welcome Center– as seen through an evolution of design schematics to date; views to and from the water affected by the project; and preservation of the historic Burtis House, among other concerns. We continue to watch closely the development of this project so that we can advocate for a future City Dock that will be protected from the extreme effects of climate change.
The City Dock project is complex and multi-faceted. We present this page as a resource for the community to stay informed on this developing project. We encourage you to stay up-to-date on the project and ask questions of elected officials to make sure the most successful version of a reimagined City Dock is achieved.

December 3, 2024 – An important public hearing for the Planning Commission meeting will be held on Thursday, December 5 at 7:30 pm regarding City Dock. The Commission will review the proposal for the Maritime Welcome Center and the new park/landscaping at the end of Prince George Street in front of the Burtis House. As a reminder, the park and resiliency plan was previously reviewed and approved. The agenda includes links to the city’s application and the Planning Department staff report, which recommends approval with conditions. HA encourages you to attend and to make public comment.
October 7, 2024 – The recording of the Historic Preservation Commission and Planning Commission’s joint Work Session on Thursday, October 3, 2024 can be viewed here.
October 1, 2024 – Last week, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) approved amendments to the previously approved site plan (resiliency and the park) for Phase One of the City Dock Project. The amendments included the interactive fountain, the pergola stage/electrical shed in the center of the park, and the introduction of a second pergola electrical shed where the current harbor master building stands.
While HA fully supports the City Dock project — particularly the resiliency in the form of flood barrier protection — we echoed community concern that the fountain is too big and that the second pergola should include a universally accessible bathroom. The HPC did not require the city to alter the design or application, but they did attach conditions—including returning to the HPC with a separate application for “design of cultural interpretation and any sculptural elements.”
This Thursday, HPC and Planning will host a joint work session on City Dock where the city project teams will provide updates. This is not a public hearing, so public comment will not be accepted. You can attend in person at City Hall (160 Duke of Gloucester Street) or watch on Youtube.
September 30, 2024 – Thank you once again to those of you who came out to the HA/Ward One Residents Association’s Community Listening Session on City Dock in September! Read our record of the comments received that night and via email from those who could not attend. These great comments were shared with the Mayor, City Council, and the HPC.
September 27, 2024 – The video of the Historic Preservation Commission hearing on September 26, 2024 can be viewed here.
September 20, 2024 – Amendments to the City Dock Plan Phase I will be presented to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) at their meeting on Thursday, September 26, 2024, at 7 pm.
The HPC will consider amendments to the previously approved Phase I — the resiliency and park. The amended application documents can be found linked in the Meeting Agenda.
The public may provide live testimony at the meeting that pertains to the resiliency and park (the Burtis House and Maritime Welcome Center are not on this agenda).
Written comments may be submitted here – submit before noon on Thursday to have comments entered into the public record.
The public may attend the hearing in person at Annapolis City Hall, or watch virtually on Youtube.
September 9, 2024 – Wow! We were pleased to host more than 150 engaged residents and business owners at the Paca House last Wednesday for a special listening session on the complicated and multi-phased City Dock project. Your voice is important. Thank you for sharing your comments, concerns, and questions with Historic Annapolis (HA) and the Ward One Residents Association (WORA) – and a very special thanks to Storm Bros. for the ice cream!
Mayor Buckley and Alderman-select Harry Huntley (Ward 1) were present to hear straight from the community. Comments were articulate and spanned a vast array of legitimate questions about the project. Many focused on total cost and maintenance plan.
Next Steps: HA and WORA are compiling comments received to present to elected officials and the City Dock project team.
Missed the listening session? Have a comment or question about City Dock? Email Rachel Robinson, VP Preservation, at rachel.robinson@annapolis.org if you would like to share your thoughts by Wednesday, September 12. HA is prepared to host a follow-up meeting to welcome the City and project team respond and answer questions raised by participants.
September 3, 2024 – HA’s preservation experts share some background on Annapolis City Dock, to include an overview of the consensus history and current status on the project approval.
August 24, 2024 – We want to hear your thoughts! A City Dock listening session, hosted by Historic Annapolis and Ward One Residents Association, is an opportunity for the public to share your thoughts on the City Dock project. Feedback will be complied and shared with the City following the session. This listening session will be held on Wednesday, September 4, 2024 at 6 pm at the William Paca House & Garden.
Because there will not be a presentation of the City’s plan, we ask that you do a little homework in advance to get up to speed. We encourage you to review the City’s Access Annapolis website; recent presentations can be found under “About the Project” and frequently asked questions under “Vision and FAQ.”
Questions? Can’t make the meeting? Email Rachel Robinson, Vice President of Preservation at rachel.robinson@annapolis.org.
July 15, 2024 – The City of Annapolis provided a City Dock Fact Sheet via email. Click here to read the Fact Sheet.
June 6, 2024 – The slide deck from the May 30 meeting at City Dock, hosted by the City of Annapolis, can be found here. The City also provided the following email in follow-up:
On Thursday, May 30, the City Dock Action Committee (CDAC) convened at City Dock to present the plans for City Dock resiliency, City Dock Park and the updated plans for the Annapolis Harbormaster headquarters, the Maritime Welcome Center.
The evening began with a presentation from the City Dock team and Action Commitee members, including author Stephen Ritterbush, Annapolis DPW Director Burr Vogel, architect Bryce Turner, CDAC manager Eileen Fogarty, preservationist Emily Hotaling, historian Chris Haley and others.
The presentation began by outlining the need for flood mitigation at historic City Dock. The main purpose of the project is to protect downtown Annapolis from the damaging impacts of more frequent and more intense flooding events. The resilience work will include creating an earthen berm to protect City Dock. This raised area will become a new City Dock Park.
Next up, details of the new park and waterfront promenade were showcased, including the cultural legacy walk, fountain/splash pad, and pavilion.
The area will include a Cultural Legacy walk to highlight Annapolis’ rich and diverse history. Historian Chris Haley presented quotes that the Legacy Working Group selected. Mr. Haley is asking the public to vote on the selected quotes:

Based on months of public engagement, the headquarters for the Annapolis Harbormaster have been redesigned to incorporate public recommendations. Known as the “Maritime Welcome Center,” the new facility will include boater facilities for the tens of thousands who come each year and pay for the use of berths at Ego Alley and mooring locations in Spa Creek. Putting this facility on the waterfront is critical to providing all Annapolitans direct water access and offers the Annapolis Harbormaster a premier location to protect maritime safety in Annapolis waterways.
The facility will also include expanded space for the Visitor Center, and additional conference and storage space for the Harbormaster.
As part of the preservation work at Burtis House, the new Maritime Welcome Center will make that site more accessible to the public with a connecting elevator. Burtis is a small structure and it has suffered greatly through successive flooding events since the Sailing Hall of Fame and Maryland DNR vacated in 2018.
The new Maritime Welcome Center will create access to Burtis House and activate the Prince George’s Street side with a new park area. The Welcome Center’s elevator and handicap-accessible restrooms will address ADA compliance of Burtis House as a public space.
Following the presentations, attendees contributed their ideas and recommendations through working groups. At 8 p.m., Mayor Buckley closed out the meeting. Thank you to all who participated!
May 24, 2024 – The City of Annapolis will be hosting a public ‘On-Site Workshop’ for the City Dock Park project.
Date: Thursday, May 30, 2024
Time: 5:30 pm – 7 pm (check-in begins at 5 pm)
Location: Tent by the Burtis House (enter the tent from the Prince George Street side)
This workshop will provide the opportunity to see how the community’s ideas and feedback has been incorporated into the new designs, and to share your thoughts. In addition to participating in the workshop and viewing the designs, you will have an opportunity to walk the footprint of the proposed Maritime Welcome Center on the site itself.
The videos of the recent presentations about the Maritime Welcome Center and above ground elements of the new park, part of Project Two of the City Dock project are available now, and we encourage you to view one or both ahead of the Thursday, May 30 meeting:
Monday, May 13 – Special Offsite Work Session of City Council
Tuesday, May 14 – Joint Work Session of the Historic Preservation Commission and Planning Commission
As we have stated, HA has been a critical part of the reimagining of City Dock for more than a decade. We support the redevelopment of City Dock, resiliency, FEMA compliance, and flood barrier protection to protect the fragile and historic city core for generations to come. We believe the current iteration of the MWC (though the design itself is much improved) is still too big and not deferential to the Burtis House, of which it is meant to be an addition. To reduce the size and mass, can some of the uses can be broken up through the adaptive reuse of existing and under-used buildings on Dock Street? Must a critically important resiliency project include the demolition* of the current harbormaster building and new construction* with a basement in the flood plain?
Another issue we’ve consistently raised with the City is more opportunity for meaningful public input on this transformational project. Questions we consistently hear – some of which are outside our preservation purview – include:
- Are amenities being prioritized over a complete resiliency plan?
- How much will the project cost, and what are all the sources of funding?
- Does the new MWC proposal meet all codes and regulations? Are all the reserved uses of the MWC necessary?
- Why is the Burtis House being elevated to be in compliance with the FEMA flood plain while the new MWC is positioned on the water’s edge (part of it serving as the flood barrier protection wall) and with a basement?
Do not miss this important opportunity to be heard. We hope to see you on Thursday at City Dock!

Monday, May 13 at 11:30 am
The project team will present to City Council today at a special offsite work session. This meeting will only be available to the public via broadcast; see agenda for details.
Monday, May 13 at 7 pm
A presentation will also occur at this evening’s City Council meeting. The meeting is both in person at Council Chambers and broadcast; see agenda for details.
Tuesday, May 14 at 7 pm
The project team will then present at a joint work session of the Historic Preservation Commission and Planning Commission. This meeting is both in person at Council Chambers and broadcast; see agenda for details.
This work session will not have live public testimony – however, they will be accepting questions written on cards, to be submitted in person. If you are unable to attend in person, you are welcome to email your question to HA at rachel.robinson@annapolis.org.
We recommend that you tune in live or watch the recording of one of the Monday meetings to see the new design in order to prepare your questions for Tuesday evening.
April 30, 2024 – Phased plans for City Dock redevelopment are moving forward. Project 1, the flood barrier protection and new park, has made it through local review and conditional approval (Historic Preservation and Planning Commissions) and will now be reviewed by state and federal agencies. The newest design for the Maritime Welcome Center—a replacement for the current harbormaster building—will be revealed at a joint HPC and Planning Commission work session on May 14. View the agenda here.
Today, HA’s President and CEO Karen Theimer Brown shares a message that articulates HA’s support and concerns about the project at this point.
HA will continue to apply our motto — Preserve. Protect. Connect. — to our advocacy regarding the greatest infrastructure project in the city’s history and the key to making our fragile historic port city resilient in the face of climate change.
April 25, 2024 Update:
A joint work session with the Planning Commission and the Historic Preservation Commission will be held on May 14, 2024 for review of the City Dock Resiliency Project with additional and revised designs, including a proposal for a waterfront Maritime Visitor’s Center building. 3’ x 5’ cards will be available for written questions. No public testimony will be received. View the agenda here. The meeting will also be broadcast on the City’s Boards and Commissions Youtube page.
April 5, 2024 Update:
The park and resiliency part of the plan (Project 1) has made it through the Planning Commission and last week was conditionally approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. If you missed any of these hearings, the City’s Boards and Commissions channel on YouTube makes it easy to catch up. You can watch the March 28, 2024 Historic Preservation Commission meeting here. Review the site plans/application here.
We expect the next phase of Project 1 review and approval to be at the state level via the Maryland Historical Trust and at the federal level through FEMA. The new Maritime Welcome Center – theoretically an addition to the historic Burtis House – is anticipated in the next phase. We continue to have concerns about the potential visual impact of the city’s preferred placement of this structure at the water’s edge. Would it be a permanent obstruction of the view and ostensibly negate any benefit or improvement gained from the first phase of the landscape plan?
March 27, 2024 Update:
On Thursday, March 28 at 7 pm, the Annapolis Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will review City Dock Project 1 – the park and flood barrier protection. Please note: this public hearing will be virtual only, unfortunately (HA believes a public hearing of such importance should be both in person and broadcast).
Written comment for the Commission’s review must be submitted by 12 pm on Thursday, March 28 here. Additionally, if you wish to make LIVE public comment during the virtual hearing, check the Yes box for “I want to give live testimony” on the comments web form. You will then receive instructions from city staff for your participation.
March 13, 2024 Update:
On March 12, the City Dock project team presented a pre-application review to the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, which was non-binding (no action by the Commission). You can watch the March 12 presentation and see current design plans for the park and flood barrier, and hear feedback from the HPC here.
March 8, 2024 Update:
Following a presentation that spanned multiple meetings, the city’s Planning Commission has approved Project 1 of the City Dock project. You can view the City Dock presentations to the Planning Commission here: January 18, February 1, and March 7.
February 1, 2024 Update:
A Message From Our President: Earlier this month, City Dock experienced the third highest water level in the city’s history, reminding us of the fragility of Annapolis’s historic landscape and the importance of the City’s accelerated planning effort to protect it. Environmental resiliency is the key feature of this $90 million effort. A comprehensive planning strategy is critical so that we can appropriately respond to threats posed by climate change with the magnitude of the City Dock project. Working together, we will reduce our vulnerability while protecting our local businesses, our buildings, and our history. Read the full message from President Karen Brown here.
January 17, 2024 Update:
On Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 7 pm, the Planning Commission will host the first of (what will likely be) a two-part public hearing on the resiliency improvements and new park of the City Dock project (please note: this hearing will not involve the proposed Maritime Welcome Center). We encourage you to turn out or tune in to see the City’s current proposal for this massive and critical project and to voice your questions and concerns.
The Planning Commission has pivoted to a hybrid meeting model: the commission will meet in person at City Council Chambers and the meeting will also be broadcast on the City’s Boards and Commissions YouTube channel.
November 14, 2023:
The City of Annapolis has just announced a series of community meetings happening in the wards over the next several weeks related to the City Dock Redevelopment:
Wednesday, November 15, 2023, 5 pm – 6:30 pm, American Legion Post #141 – For Wards 3 and 4
Wednesday, November 20, 2023, 5 pm – 6:30 pm, Pip Moyer Recreation Center – For Wards 5 and 6
Wednesday, November 29, 2023, 5 pm – 6:30 pm, Eastport Fire Station – For Wards 7 and 8
We encourage all community members to attend these meetings and express your comments and concerns related to the project.
November 13, 2023 Update:
On Tuesday, November 14 at 7 pm, the Annapolis Historic Preservation Commission will hold a hybrid meeting. The public is invited to attend the meeting in person at City Hall, or watch the broadcast on the City’s YouTube Channel.
The agenda includes the Burtis House, an important element in the redevelopment of City Dock. For consideration are selective demolition of non-contributing features, elevating the structure and adding new pier foundation with new front porch stairs. Design of the Maritime Welcome Center addition to the Burtis House is not on the agenda and will be considered at a future HPC meeting. View the agenda here.
November 3, 2023 Update:
On November 1, the City of Annapolis hosted a live/virtual event to kick off the City Dock Communications Plan and provide updates on City Dock Park– one element of the major resiliency project Annapolis is undertaking to protect downtown. Mayor Buckley and members of the City Dock project team took Q&A after the presentation, but certain questions remained unanswered.
How will the new park be funded and maintained after construction? When will we see renderings of the park and new Maritime Welcome Center from the water?
HA is a founding partner of the City Dock Action Committee that was crucial in leading the way to this planning of new infrastructure and a park amenity at Annapolis’s gateway to the Bay. We are excited about this project and want to see the best version of the many important parts: the new raised park, the new Maritime Welcome Center, the preservation and adaptive reuse of the Burtis House, the new park at the end of Prince George Street, and, critically, the complete flood barrier plan for Ego Alley.
October 3, 2023 Update:
The City Dock Action Committee (CDAC) was reconvened recently for the City’s reveal of the updated design for the proposed Maritime Welcome Center– a key feature of the City Dock infrastructure project. Watch the city’s presentation to CDAC members here.
HA, a founding partner of CDAC, attended the presentation and participated in the feedback roundtables. We are encouraged by the improvements to the design of the Maritime Welcome Center (MWC) and look forward to the continued design development. Concerns remain about the preservation and visibility of Burtis House, views and access to and from the water, and how the current MWC design meets certain regulatory requirements, including an easement on the Burtis House.
On Thursday, October 19, 2023, there will be a City Council special work session at 3 pm at City Hall, which is open to the public. Although there will not be an opportunity for public comment, HA encourages you to attend. We expect that this meeting will be broadcast and recorded on the City’s YouTube channel.
Since our founding in 1952, HA has closely watched development projects in our capital city, including at City Dock, to make sure that the character and scale of Annapolis are maintained. New development is part of a living city– it just needs to be appropriate for the vulnerable historic environment that we all steward and enjoy. HA has been a constant proponent of the City Dock resiliency project as a critical means to protect and preserve our coastal city, and we will continue to work with the City and its residents to achieve the best possible result.

Watch the video of the special City Council Work Session held on June 8, 2023 here.
June 6, 2023 Update:
The City of Annapolis is preparing to embark upon the greatest public infrastructure project in the history of our historic town.
Join us this Thursday, June 8, 2023 at 3 pm in the City Council Chambers to hear from City leadership about their vision to transform City Dock at a special work session.
Historic Annapolis is in full support of City Dock redevelopment. We support resiliency efforts to address the threats of sea level rise, and we support enhancing the downtown waterfront as a community center for residents and visitors alike.
City Dock is at the heart of Annapolis – a national historic treasure – and a gateway to the Chesapeake Bay. As such, it is critical that this major planning effort does not diminish views to and from the water nor compromise the small-town feel that we love. As stated by the mayor early in the planning process, “we must protect and enhance the viewshed of the water and the scenic vista.” (Capital Gazette, October 21, 2018)
Be a part of our city’s future! Public involvement greatly enhances all community planning. Your attendance at the special work session on Thursday, June 8 will prove public interest in the future of City Dock. The work session will be held from 3 pm – 5 pm in the City Council Chambers (160 Duke of Gloucester Street). We strongly encourage that you attend in person or online via Youtube or Facebook.
