America's #1 Fishing Port
About us
The New Bedford Port Authority’s primary charge is to support The Port of New Bedford through: -The implementation of best management practices over port resources -The development of economic growth strategies To this end, it is the goal of the New Bedford Port Authority to keep New Bedford on top as the #1 U.S. fishing port, expand existing businesses and capitalize on new opportunities that will maximize The Port’s potential as an economic engine to create jobs and strengthen the New Bedford economy. The NBPA (formerly Harbor Development Commission) was created by the Massachusetts General Court under Chapter 762 of the Acts of 1957. As such, the NBPA is not a Department of the City, but rather an autonomous body charged with managing the Port. Chaired by the Mayor, the Commission consists of seven members as appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council. The term of the Commissioners is three years. The New Bedford enabling legislation gives the NBPA the authorities of the harbormaster and the responsibility to manage commercial and recreational vessel activities over all the waters within the New Bedford city limits. The crucial day-to-day operations and decision making is the responsibility of the NBPA staff headed by an Executive Director. The NBPA manages all City-owned waterfront property, including Homer’s, Leonard’s, Steamship, Coal Pocket, and Fisherman’s Wharves, as well as a 198-slip recreational marina at Pope’s Island and 19 real estate assets. The NBPA also assigns moorings and enforces rules regarding use of piers, wharves, and adjacent parking areas under its jurisdiction, and issues permits for harbor events and for use of city-owned waterfront facilities. The harbormaster acts as an agent of the NBPA.

The City of New Bedford has a new look! Explore New Bedford - it's #seeworthynb
We're rebranding! Destination New Bedford are launching their new campaign, including the new Explore New Bedford logo, designed by Mediumstudio, and a new website designed by Patrick Gleavey at PSG Media Solutions. Mayor Mitchell: “The City’s emergence from the pandemic was an occasion to reset the City’s tourism messaging. This new campaign puts the City in a stronger position to capitalize on regional travel and show off the City’s progress in a more advantageous way.” Director Ashley Payne: “This is a significant milestone. It reflects our commitment to showcasing the true spirit of New Bedford and inviting everyone, both visitors and residents, to explore the history, art and culture that make our City unique. The goal of this project was to really capture the essence of the City’s unique identity. We want to provide a fresh, new experience that attracts visitors from near and far, while also encouraging residents to explore the gems they might not know are in their own backyard.” Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/gFeQReP9 #newbedford #tourism #lovewhereyoulive #explorenewbedford
