Thursday, June 20: Project Community: Gloucester
NEEDHAM, Mass. —
Home to America’s oldest seaport, Gloucester takes pride in its maritime history. But today its fishing industry faces daunting challenges, from quotas that limit the catch, to costs making it difficult to eke out a living. At the same time, the city offers waterfront views, an engaging arts scene and a lively restaurant community – all the qualities that are catnip to upscale newcomers. Tonight, Anthony Everett reports on how Gloucester is trying to maintain its working waterfront tradition in the face of the economic pressures affecting all Bay State coastal communities.
