VANCOUVER – The Main Street Promise Project will host its second informational open house event on Thu., June 8 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Vancouver Community Library (901 C Street) in the Columbia Room.
The event will showcase conceptual designs for downtown’s Main Street from 5th Street to 15th Street intended to improve accessibility, safety and connectivity for businesses, residents and visitors. The project is seeking feedback from community members regarding various design elements, including potential lighting, materials and art integration options. Preliminary construction considerations and possible measures to mitigate disruptions to businesses will also
be shared.
“We’re excited to continue the conversation and share our progress with the community,” said city of Vancouver Deputy Director of Economic Development Teresa Brum. “Conceptual designs reflect what we heard from the community during our first open house, small group sessions and meetings with various stakeholder groups, our business and property owner survey and input from our Project Advisory Group.”
Community input gathered through this event will help inform final design and construction plans for Main Street revitalization efforts. Project information will be available in English, Spanish and Russian. Community members who need interpretation or assistance to participate in the open house, please email smallbusiness@cityofvancouver.us or call (360) 487-7940 by June 1, 2023.
A community-led effort nearly 30 years in the making, this project is an investment in the future of downtown’s Main Street. For more information about the Main Street Promise Project and opportunities for engagement, visit beheardvancouver.org/mainstreetpromise.
