Newport Seeks Citizen Input On South Beach Plan

During the summer, the City of Newport asked for feedback on the types of

investments the Newport Urban Renewal Agency should make in and around South

Beach over the next four to five years. More than 300 people responded with a host of

feedback and ideas for projects to enhance the tax base, promote livability, and improve

experiences for area residents, visitors, and employees. The city appreciates the

valuable input of citizens.

Local citizens thoughts and ideas helped the Urban Renewal Agency and its consultants

prepare a preliminary set of projects for the Agency’s final round of South Beach

investments. With this survey, the city wants to hear how those projects should be

prioritized. The city will use that information to prepare a final, prioritized set of project

recommendations for the Agency’s consideration.

The survey is on the Virtual Open House website. Learn more about the project and

take the survey at: https://NewportOregon.gov/SBOpenHouse. The survey will be open

until October 15. Questions should be directed to Derrick Tokos, Community Development Director, at d.tokos@newportoregon.gov.
