Charlestown Navy Yard Master Development Strategy Phase I Environmental Assessment


The National Park Service (NPS) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate a proposal to construct a Gateway Center, combining the existing USS Constitution Museum and NPS visitor center into a consolidated facility at the primary entrance to the Charlestown Navy Yard (CNY), on the site of the Hoosac Stores Building adjacent to Gate 1. NPS is also proposing to replace Building 109 (on Pier 1) with an open frame structure providing a centrally located area for visitor orientation and programming. These two actions are critical components of implementing the Boston National Historical Park's Master Development Strategy for the CNY. Three alternatives are analyzed in this EA, a no-action alternative and two action alternatives.

Comments on the environmental assessment will be taken throughout a 30-day public comment period. Because the document was briefly removed for minor editorial changes on January 6, the comment period has been extended by three days.

The NPS held a virtual (Zoom) public meeting to discuss the EA on Wednesday, January 18, 2023. Attached is the presentation made at that meeting.
