The National Park Service manages both the National Historic Site and a Regional Visitor Center in downtown Salem. Salem Harbor was the site of one of the major international ports in the colonies. During the American Revolutionary War, merchant ships were enlisted as privateers, an important role to augment the ill-prepared Continental Navy. In 1790, Salem Harbor was a world famous seaport and sixth-largest in the United States of America. Now the harbor is used for commercial and recreational purposes. In September 2008, The City of Salem received $2.3 million from the Seaport Advisory Council to fund the final engineering and construction documents related to the development of Salem Wharf, as well as the acquisition of the Blaney Street ferry terminal owned by Dominion Energy. With this money, $1 million is used to purchase 10 Blaney Street, the site of the ferry landing. The City is actively negotiating the sale of this property with Dominion Energy. The Seaport Council has already committed $750,000 toward its acquisition. “I would like to thank the Seaport Advisory Council and the Patrick/Murray Administration for their unwavering commitment to this project,” stated Mayor Kimberley Driscoll. “This project, along with the South River Harbor Walk will transform the City’s waterfront into an active and vibrant venue for cruise ships and fishing vessels. It is hugely important to the City’s economy and tourist industry.”In 2010, Mayor Kimberley Driscoll is announced that the City of Salem will purchase the Blaney Street parcel from Dominion Energy tomorrow paving the way for the Salem Wharf project.

Dredging will allow the city to attract other ferries, excursion vessels and cruise ships of up to 250 feet (76 m).The City of Salem received $4,000,000 from the Massachusetts Seaport Advisory Council in November 2013 to construct an extension to Salem Wharf.

The program started in 2011 with a fleet of 20 bicycles and is split between two hubs, at Salem State University and downtown, near the Hawthorne Hotel. In 2011, Salem was awarded $25,000 from the Green Communities grant program, which went toward the purchase of the bike fleet. Fees are charged to a participant's credit card only if they return the bike late or damaged. Right now, Salem Spins is open only to people over the age of 18. But the city is considering changing that, Marquis said, as well as producing a bike map for participants and offering a "seasonal pass" where bikes could be used for more than one day at a time.With Driscoll as Mayor, Salem became one of the one-hundred-ten cities and towns from all regions of the State of Massachusetts designated as Commonwealth "Green Communities." This made the City of Salem eligible for municipal renewable power and energy efficiency grants. Then in 2013 Salem got eight stations where drivers can charge their electric cars, a program was paid for by a grant from the state of Massachusetts [7] Commonwealth "Green Communities."
