The Bainbridge property has worn many hats over the decades. It started as a school, then became a naval training center, and eventually sat idle as a contaminated brownfield site while officials and stakeholders worked to find a path forward.
Now, that long-stalled property is entering a new chapter — one that involves redevelopment, partnership, and significant investment.
The journey from dormant, contaminated land to an active redevelopment project has not been a quick one. For years, the site sat unused while the complicated process of addressing environmental concerns and securing the right partnerships played out.
Today, progress is being made, and the Bainbridge property is being held up as a case study in how communities can breathe new life into challenging sites through collaboration and committed investment.
