PROPOSAL
PROJECT GOALS
The city of Aberdeen, Washington is looking for a way to re-purpose the brownfield site that previously housed the Weyerhaeuser Sawmill. This project will propose a mixed-use sustainable community that all city residents and visitors may use and learn from. The proposal will include multiple housing options, retail spaces, and community spaces, as well as a large park with food production capabilities and boat access to the neighboring Chehalis River. Sustainable elements such as onsite energy production, rain water catchments and storage systems, and a water treatment station are just a few of the elements that the community will utilize and display for all to learn from. Overall this project will be a living, working, eating, playing, and learning community for its residents, the county of Grays Harbor, and all of its visitors for years to come.
Create a sustainable mixed-use community for the city of Aberdeen. Resurrect the site of the old Weyerhaeuser Sawmill so that all of Aberdeen and its visitors may enjoy it. Design an attractive first view of town that would spark interest for those entering via Highway 12 from Olympia/Seattle or the coastal Highway 101. Encourage Aberdeen’s visitors to stop and stay for a bit. Activate a new community center with residential and commercial elements for the city of Aberdeen, Washington.
