Revitalization

The Clatskanie Revitalization Project

The Clatskanie Revitalization Project is a community-driven effort to enhance downtown Clatskanie and key city areas. Our goal is to bolster local commerce, draw visitors from the highway, create inviting public spaces for everyone to enjoy, improve accessibility and safety, and highlight the picturesque small-town charm that makes Clatskanie so special.

The Revitalization Committee of the Chamber oversees this work. Board members, business owners, community leaders, and volunteers are part of the committee.

Current Projects

2024-2025 Travel Oregon Grant

The Clatskanie Chamber of Commerce was awarded $81,610 grant from Travel Oregon in the Spring of 2024 to do our first round of revitalization efforts, targeted at making areas more accessible and safe for those with mobility challenges.

Grant Projects:

Paving around the City park’s public restroom. This included removing the gravel around the bathroom and replacing it with asphalt — to help those in wheelchairs, strollers, and with other mobility devices access the bathroom.
Adding an ADA parking spot next to the bathroom.
Paving the main city park road to 2 lanes length, adding a walking path on both sides.
Replacing the chamber’s old planter boxes
Hiring Communitecture, an architecture firm, to help create a Clatskanie masterplan for future projects

Completed Projects

City Park Paving Summer 2024

We’re incredibly grateful for the City of Clatskanie’s partnership on this exciting improvement project. Utilizing $24,000 of the Travel Oregon Grant, we were able to pave a critical part of the city park road and restroom. The City went above and beyond—extending the paving around the pool, adding fresh paint, and installing new ramps on the backside of the bridge near the restrooms.

THANK YOU City Manager Greg Hinkleman, Mayor Bob, the council, the Parks & Rec committee, Dave Minor, and the City public works crew for your investment and partnership. Additionally, thank you Mike George Paving for the beautiful work done!

Community Feedback Sessions Spring 2024

We hosted 2 community workshops to gather community feedback for projects residents would like to see for downtown. We had over 60 people attend the first meeting, and 50 attend the extended workshop meeting. Community based feedback is our guide for future projects.
