The Town of Westport is currently reviewing a proposed concession agreement for food and beverage operations at Compo Beach and Longshore Club Park ahead of the Memorial Day Weekend and the 2026 summer season.
The process began with a public Request for Proposals (RFP), followed by proposal review, site visits, interviews, and lease negotiations. Under the Town Charter and applicable procedures, the proposed agreement now moves through several public meetings involving Westport’s elected bodies.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the process by attending meetings and/or submitting comments.
