Port of Coupeville Advisory Committees
Would you like to provide input on the future of the historic Coupeville Wharf or Greenbank Farm?
The Port of Coupeville seeks community members who have a passion for our historic assets to participate on an advisory committee representing either the Coupeville Wharf or Greenbank Farm.
The committees will focus on both immediate and future needs of these two properties. Each committee will present ideas and options to the Executive Director and the Port Commissioners during open public meetings.
If you are interested in caretaking either of these two historic assets, please contact the Executive Director at: executivedirector@portofcoupeville.org.
