Event Sponsors

In celebration of the Greater Newburyport Chamber's 50th Anniversary, we are proud to announce a presentation by our local historian Ghlee Woodworth

Newburyport's Urban Renewal: Demolition or Restoration - The Story By Ghlee E. Woodworth

 
Like many communities in the early 1960s, Newburyport was at an economic crossroads. Factories closed, unemployment soared, storefronts were boarded up, and the new wave of shopping malls swept through the country. Urban renewal threatened to demolish Newburyport?s historic downtown and replace it with a modern shopping center.

Based on the Newburyport Daily News? book, Port in Progress, Woodworth will take you through a visual journey to learn how the business community and its citizens came together to save the charm and character of the historic downtown.
