Around Town: Newport meeting to discuss Mariners Mile mixed-use project

Developers of the Newport Village mixed-use project planned for Mariners Mile will hold a public meeting Wednesday in Newport Beach to share information about it.

The proposal, for both sides of the street in the 2000 to 2200 blocks of West Coast Highway, includes 122 apartments and condominiums, 128,640 square feet of new and existing commercial floor space, a new publicly accessible waterfront promenade and 827 parking spaces, according to the city.

The proposed marina design would add headwalk sections and a new gangway and reduce the total number of slips from 68 to 63.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the Community Room at City Hall, 100 Civic Center Drive.
