OUR VISION

A GRAND VISION FORFRONT STREET VILLAGEFront Street Village will be a community like no other in eastern North Carolina - it will reflect the long and proud seafaring history of the village of Beaufort, NC.The proposed master plan includes two dry stack facilities, that along with The Chandlery ship's store, dock facilities, and member areas, will make up The Boathouse at Front Street Village. The plan also includes a waterfront Bistro on Taylor Creek offering spectacular views of the waterway. The Inn at Front Street Village will offer five-star accommodations to visitors, along with conference space and guest amenities.The centerpiece of Front Street Village will be a walking community of single family properties and Beaufort style cottages. Homes and neighborhood amenities will be accessible only by foot and golf cart, adding to the environ-mental friendliness of the community. The entire plan ensures the community will leave as light an environmental footprint as possible.Front Street Village will offer residents and visitors a natural setting of wetland boardwalks, parks, and public greenways, along with a General Store, Meeting House, and plenty of off-site parking areas.Achitecturally, Front Street Village is designed to blend seamlessly with historic Beaufort, drawing from some of the same Caribbean influences that shaped the overall look of the town from wide, airy porches to traditional white and light exterior paint colors. This will be a special place for visitors and for those lucky enough to call it "home".

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOATHOUSETo everyone at The Boathouse,In case I haven't said it recently, thank you all so much for everything you do. Your facility is fabulous and such an amazing addition to our hectic lives. Your attention to detail and outstanding customer service is a model for us all. Thanks again!!Best,Lauren__________________________________________________________________Cathy, I have been meaning to send you this for a while or at some point seeing you face to face to provide this feedback. I cannot express in words how pleased I am that we decided to keep our boat at The Boathouse. Every time I come, I am more impressed with the professionalism and courtesy I experience with your crew. From Susan in the Chanderly to all the guys on the docks, everyone is fantastic. I do not know all the names yet but Gene and Jimmy have really helped me as a novice boater. I have done a lot of sailing, but this is my first experience manipulating a small power boat in winds, tides and currents and everyone there has been especially helpful and never judgmental. My boat is always clean and ready when I arrive. It is so nice not to have to worry about the boat ramps and have all my needs taken care of. You have a top notch outfit. I am looking forward to a wonderful summer on the water. David WheelerSundance 20'Greensboro, NC__________________________________________________________________Joyce, The wine tasting last night was awesome! Please let Wendy know how much fun we all had (I knew about 10 others there and they loved it!). I understand that there is a social network that I could "subscribe" to for the BoatHouse? Please add my name to the list for all upcoming events. I promise, too, that if I ever buy a boat it will be stored there!!!! :) Thanks!Carol Roop__________________________________________________________________Dear Wendi and Bucky,Thank you for including me in a very, very impressive moment at The Boathouse. Of course, lunch was wonderful, and being in the company of that powerful group was humbling!I had no idea that the Hill Center was doing so much training... that it is so widespread... nor that so many Carteret County students were experiencing this positive curriculum.Talk about making a difference!!! Thank you for all you are doing.Cheers,Ann__________________________________________________________________MOST GENEROUSBeaufort, N.C.March 5, 2011TO THE EDITOR:Carteret County folks have got to be the most generous on earth, with weekly announcements of fundraising activities providing support for worthy causes throughout the county.Promotional themes and venues are as varied as these causes but very few - if any - could top the magnificent, unparalleled view of sunset on Taylors Creek and the waters beyond as that provided by The Boathouse, Beaufort's newest addition.Built on the site of the old Beaufort Fisheries factory, The Boathouse is the first phase of a well-planned development at the east end of Front Street. From its second deck's porch, one can see Shackelford ahead, For Macon to the west and all the activity on the waters below.It was this unique site, which the Broad Street Clinic chose for a successful event to raise funding for their outstanding medical service to those less fortunate. My thanks to Wendi and Bucky Oliver for hosting and to all those who planned and attended this wonderful evening event.GINNY COSTLOW__________________________________________________________________KIND HEARTS AND THE NEEDS OF OTHERSBeaufort, N.C.March 7, 2011TO THE EDITOR:The Broad Street Clinic is fortunate to have Carteret County supporters whose kind hearts put the needs of others first in their lives. Broad Street Clinic, founded in 1993 by county physicians and other concerned citizens, provides access to medical care for the economically stressed population in our community. Because the clinic receives no state or federal funding, it depends on fundraising events and on donations from the community to maintain its programs.The Boathouse at Front Street Village welcomed aboard friends of the Broad Street Clinic for a fundraising event on March 4th. On Friday evening on the porch of The Boathouse, guests who give their time, talents, and funds to the clinic enjoyed watching the sunset before dinner. During the dinner hour, guests bid on silent auction items that were donated by Beaufort and Morehead City merchants.The clinic thanks Calypso Cottage, McQueens, ICW, 350º Cheese Straws, Jack Best, and several private individuals who generously donated items to the auction. Cooper and Cooper volunteered their musical talents for the evening. I also thank all our community members for their continued support of Broad Street Clinic.PEG MIDYETTE, Vice chairmanBroad Street Clinic Board of Directors

Boathouse Property History No Frame

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BOATHOUSE PROPERTYAs times change, and they always do, the end of one era brings on a new one. Horse and buggies were replaced by the automobile. Ice trucks were replaced by refrigerators. Records were replaced by cassettes, which were replaced by CDs. It goes on and on.Before the 1900s, heavy cargo transportation was primarily handled by boats, in and out of thousands of ports throughout the US. For efficiency, factories, farms, and businesses needed to be as close to the water as possible. Explains why most of our largest cities are port cities.Enter the train, truck, and plane eras. Suddenly farms and businesses could locate much further inland, afford cheaper properties, pay less taxes, etc. It also meant that small port towns of eastern NC, like New Bern, Beaufort, Washington, and Edenton, would shift their focus from being shipping ports to tourist destinations.Which brings us to the site on which The Boathouse at Front Street Village is located.Prior to Europeans arriving in what is now know as Beaufort in 1709 the town was an Indian fishing village. And, until it was incorporated in 1723 it was known as Fishtowne. Beauforts draw has always been its waterfront.Flash forward over 200 years to 1934, thats when the property on which The Boathouse stands was acquired from Standard Products Co. and became Beaufort Fisheries, Inc. a menhaden fish processing plant that would be a thriving, bustling business for the better part of the next 75 years.Through three generations, the Wheatly and Potter families owned Beaufort Fisheries, through good times and bad. In the good times, especially in the 50s and 60s, fish plants were a mainstay of area employment and stability for the Beaufort and Morehead City economies. At one point Beaufort Fisheries was the ninth largest industrial employer in the area, with about 80 employees. In the bad times, like the 1980s, sharp drops in price and decreased catch rates caused many other firms to go under. But, according to Jule Wheatly, the founders grandson, the company only had to close once in its history, but managed to survive.Now we move from the Industrial Age to the Age of Environmental Responsibility. To prepare the site for The Boathouse, 530 tons of waste and debris was removed prior to construction, 915,340 tons of steel and 10,000 tons of concrete was recycled and used for construction, and 5112 gallons of oil were recycled during demolition of the property. As part of its basic design, The Boathouse strives to meet all NC Green Marina standards and to be environmentally friendly.And, who knows, in 200 years the Boathouse property could be a space or teleport center. Like we said at the very beginning, times change.
