CHARISMA


FAIRHAVEN CENTER
Demonstrates good planning principles such as Smart Growth



Fairhaven is located on Buzzards Bay. Its Center lies on the New Bedford Harbor.



Densities reach 20 units per acre; Low & moderate income households abut upscale neighborhoods.



Sidewalks are well defined spatially.

Its unique local character includes fishing boats in the Harbor.



Different land uses co-exist historically and do so now in a mixed-use zoning district.
