The Weymouth  Bridge

Weymouth Marina Complex Project

A number of ideas from the survey "Wake Up Weymouth" have been put together into one huge project the "Weymouth Marina Complex Project"

It is a long term development culminating in a celebration in 2024  of the  launching of the last Fairmiles type B vessel built in Weymouth.

On the journey to that celebration we hope to create a complex to serve the community and draw in visitors.  More details are below, but we need help for such a huge project. If you are interested in learning more please contact the lead on this project:  Fred Hawthorne (FH6649@gmail.com)

Mission: to create “the Heart of Weymouth” by providing an extension to the downtown core.

​

Vision:  a complex which will help to bring tourism into the village and benefit the existing and future businesses, the citizens, and the “health” of the community.

​

What is it? Develop the land on the north-east side of the Sissiboo River at the location of the John H. Leblanc Shipyards.
