    Revitalizing Contra Costa’s Northern Waterfront How to be Competitive in the 21st Century Global Economy January 2014 “It’s long been a vision of mine to revitalize Contra Costa County’s Northern Waterfront. As a young man, working first at USS-POSCO and then at Dow Chemical, I gained a deep appreciation and understanding of how important Pittburg’s working waterfront is to the community. Likewise, I see the revitalization of the County’s Northern Waterfront as vital to anyone concerned with economic development in Contra Costa County.” “I want to bring together all the stakeholders on the County’s Northern Waterfront, from Hercules to Oakley. That includes private industries, the waterfront cities, public agencies, and community groups. I believe if we act as a regional group, we can wield more influence than if each of us tried to act alone. The Northern Waterfront is one of the County’s greatest economic assets, but underutilized. I want to change that.” –Supervisor Federal Glover, District V Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors April 2013 Revitalizing Contra Costa’s Northern Waterfront How to be Competitive in the 21st Century Global Economy Project Commissioned by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors under the direction of the Contra Costa County Conservation and Development Department ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Consultant Team Ad hoc Committee on the Northern Gary Craft, Craft Consulting Group Waterfront Economic Development Initiative Kevin Stichter, Craft Consulting Group Supervisor Federal

    Historic Context Statement City of Benicia February 2011 Benicia, CA Prepared for City of Benicia Department of Public Works & Community Development Prepared by page & turnbull, inc. 1000 Sansome Street, Ste. 200, San Francisco CA 94111 415.362.5154 / www.page-turnbull.com Benicia Historic Context Statement FOREWORD “Benicia is a very pretty place; the situation is well chosen, the land gradually sloping back from the water, with ample space for the spread of the town. The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.

During the summer, Arizona locals may opt to stay indoors, but as temperatures finally dip below 90 degrees, fall in Arizona provides the ideal opportunity for seasonal activities.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • OLD TOWN Heritage Walking Tour of Yellowknife Northwest Territories
    OLD TOWN Heritage Walking Tour of Yellowknife Northwest Territories An Introduction to this heritage walking tour: The first city guide for historical walking tours of Yellowknife was published in 1987. This revised guide includes four distinct routes in the Old Town area, covering many points of interest in the original areas of community development around Latham Island, the Rock, and the neighbouring flats. It is easy to link tours together and the entire area can be covered in an easy afternoon’s walk. The City’s roots and pioneer charm rest in the waterfront streets and structures of the Old Town. On the centre page of this guide is a map of the Old Town area. Each consecutively numbered site, street or building in the text is shown on the map. Italicized sub-headings in the text describe the general location or direction of the walking tour route. A symbol indicates the site has a descriptive plaque; a symbol indicates the site is one of the City’s designated Heritage Sites. You will find that the route described in this guide, along with the routes described in the New Town guide, can be taken in pieces or linked together to cover any amount of time one might wish to spend strolling through the heritage of the City. Certain sites included in this guide, and many more in the Old Town guide, are documented in the City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee historical building inventory. It is available at the Yellowknife Public Library, the NWT Archives at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, Yellowknife City Hall, or on the City Hall website (www.yellowknife.ca).
