UTICA, N.Y. — The City of Utica and the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the grand opening of Harbor Point on June 5 with a ribbon cutting at 4 p.m., followed by a community celebration from 5-8 p.m., the city announced.
The event marks a significant step in Utica’s efforts to revitalize its waterfront district to create a recreational and economic hub.
For more than a decade, the city has worked toward its vision to develop more than 100 acres around the city’s inner harbor on the Mohawk River and Erie Canal into a year-round, mixed-use destination complete with food, entertainment, and recreation opportunities.
