PORT OF ASTORIA
WATERFRONT MASTER PLAN Partnering with the City of Astoria, the Port is excited to be moving forward with the development of a Waterfront Master Plan, the first phase of a larger effort to re-imagine a swath of under utilized waterfront property between Pier 1 and the Astoria-Megler Bridge. In June of this year, a contract with landscape architecture firm Walker Macy was signed. They will be performing a broad range of services, including project management and community outreach. A project kickoff meeting was held on August 4th and included City and Port staff, Walker Macy representatives, and citizen members of the Waterfront Master Plan Advisory 16
Committee. Future meetings will encourage community involvement, and notices will be posted through the Port and the City. WATERFRONT MASTER PLAN GOAL HIGHLIGHTS: - A Vision for the Port’s Industrial Waterfront that promotes vibrant mixeduse development, captures the public imagination, and enjoys broad support - A Vision that is long-term in focus, but capable of adapting to changing economic circumstances - A Vision that contributes to the economic prosperity of Astoria and the entire region
