Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 2017 Advance Astoria a road map for economic development ‘Northwest Oregon, like much of the Pacifi c Northwest, is experiencing a prolonged decline in resource-based employment.’ Plan promotes economic diversiﬁ cation —the Advance Astoria plan By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian The Astoria City Coun- cil took its ﬁ rst step toward approving a new ﬁ ve-year eco- nomic development strategy that hopes to create 200 high wage jobs by 2021. City councilors unani- mously approved a ﬁ rst read- ing of the Advance Astoria plan following a public hear- ing Monday night. Advance Astoria, spear- headed by the city’s Commu- nity Development Department, deﬁ nes high-wage jobs as jobs that employ a person at $17.50 or more an hour. The plan aims to “expand economic oppor- tunities and prosperity for all Astorians,” giving the city a road map for economic devel- opment desires into the future. It is a document informed by Astoria’s many industries and communities, from seafood processors and breweries to Columbia Memorial Hospi- tal and Clatsop Community College. The city, with a grant and matching funds from the Astor West Urban Renewal District, began developing the plan last year, a process that involved open houses, committee meet- ings, surveys and community meetings, said Community Development Director Kevin Cronin. “We are on time, on budget to present this project tonight,” he said. Patrick Wingard, regional representative for the Oregon Department of Land Conser- vation and Development and an Astoria resident, called Advance Astoria a “very well- crafted” plan that beneﬁ ted from a wealth of community involvement . His department provided a representative to the plan’s technical advisory committee. “It really provides a founda- tion for you, for the city of Asto- ria to move forward,” Wingard said. “Not blindly, not just tak- ing whatever proposal might come in the next day but hav- ing a targeted industry strategy so that when you look at these, in particular, your water depen- dent lands, your lands that are along the shoreline — the super valuable properties — that you have a vision in mind and an opportunity to implement it.” “Northwest Oregon, like much of the Paciﬁ c Northwest, is experiencing a prolonged decline in resource-based employment,” the Advance Astoria p lan states. “Some of these industries, such as sea- food processing, are likely to maintain a strong presence in Astoria into the future, while others may subside.” “New economic drivers will emerge,” the plan con- tinues, “especially as result of cross-pollination from larger metros like Portland.” The plan pulled heav- ily from a state-required e co- nomic o pportunities a naly- sis which looked closely at Astoria’s socio-economic data and economic development as well as available develop- able and re-developable sites in Astoria. The ﬁ nal plan looks at housing, workforce devel- opment, branding and iden- tity questions, development and permitting, available land and infrastructure and partner- ships, among other things. It outlines strategies and actions the city could take in each area. It also examines ﬁ ve indus- try “batches,” industry groups that already exist in Asto- ria in one form or another but that could expand and evolve.
