4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2017 Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Dozens of people gather Saturday at the Liberty Theatre in Astoria for a holiday lighting celebration. Downtown: ‘We celebrate new businesses coming into town’ Continued from Page 1A The Liberty Theatre is offering a free concert by the Columbia River Symphony during next month’s Second Saturday Art Walk, while Paul Caruana is opening the lobby of the John Jacob Astor Hotel building with artist exhibi- tions, a DJ, drinks and photos with Santa Claus. At In the Boudoir, owner Sue Allen Clarke had cupcakes and drinks ready Saturday for customers, along with stickers and other merchandise from Small Business Saturday. Since 2010, American Express has sponsored Small Business Saturday to encour- age patronage of small shops hit by the Great Recession. In the Boudoir has survived amid larger discount retail- ers by selling what they don’t, Clarke said. “Even when we opened up almost five years ago, you knew Walmart was going to be here, so you want to make sure you’re not carrying what they’re carrying, because you can’t compete with them,” Clarke said. Asked what will help her business, Clarke pointed west on Commercial Street toward a long-vacant Flavel fam- ily building at the corner of Commercial and Ninth streets, recently purchased and under renovation by Marcus and Michelle Liotta, and toward the Van Dusen Building, recently painted and turned into a headquarters and coop- erative workspace for Astoria Maker Industries. “Once we start filling up the side streets and back streets, that will have an effect,” Clark said, adding the down- town shopping district needs to expand beyond a few blocks on Commercial Street to become more of a destination. Large retailers have been struggling, closing and shrink- ing storefronts amid competi- tion from online competitors like Amazon. After more than 100 years in operation, J.C. Penney Co. closed its down- town location in July, leav- ing many to wonder what will come after. It’s too soon to gauge the impact of J.C. Penney leaving, but the downtown association is actively looking for another apparel merchandiser to fill the void, Heath said. “We say that you can get everything that you need downtown, and that was true until J.C. Penney closed,” she said. The downtown association has encouraged business own- ers to stay open later for eve- ning shoppers, decorate their storefronts for the holidays and participate in shopping pro- motions encouraging visits to multiple businesses. The association’s job is to help businesses network and spread the knowledge of what’s available downtown, Taylor said. “We’re not in competition,” she said of downtown retailers. “We celebrate new businesses coming into town.” As retailers pull out of malls and downtowns, opting for more online sales, Taylor sees downtown cores benefiting. “You’re going to see more people just first looking in their local downtown to see if they can find the thing they want, and then they’ll start going outside,” she said. “The radius will grow and grow, and if they can’t find it, they’ll go online.” Linh DePledge/For The Daily Astorian Dulcye Taylor, president of the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association, gets a hug from Santa on Saturday night. Port: ‘The Coast Guard’s looking at our Port in a whole new way’ Continued from Page 1A Port Executive Director Jim Knight, also a member of the Coast Guard’s Area Maritime Security Committee, said the new equipment is another step in a multiyear process of work- ing with FEMA to strengthen the Port’s security and lock- ing down the relatively open access to its terminals. The Port has been the recip- ient of federal grants for secu- rity enhancement in the past. In April 2012, it received $2.7 million to purchase the Tri- dent, one of three new ves- sels on the Lower Columbia River with firefighting capabil- ity approved by the Area Mari- time Security Committee. A big impetus behind the push for more security is the Port’s growing involvement in the cruise ship industry. The agency is scheduled to take in more than 40,000 passengers between April and October of next year from nearly 20 ships.
