Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian William Hicks has received a $7,100 state grant to help remove the metal facade from the former Abeco Office Systems storefront on Commercial Street. Local boat and building projects get state support The Daily Astorian Two local projects have received funding through the state Heritage Commission. The Astoria Ferry Group, a nonprofit seeking to restore the historic Tourist No. 2 ferry, received $20,000 to weath- erize the vessel’s topside. The ferry recently moved to Pier 39, where volunteers are restoring it in the hopes of getting certified by the Coast Guard to take large groups out on the Columbia River. William Hicks, owner of the Abeco Building, received $7,100 through the state’s Diamonds in the Rough grant program to remove a metallic facade along the Commercial Street storefront. Hicks pur- chased the building last year and has been restoring it into an indoor marketplace named Astor Court. He must provide an equal match to the state grant. The grants were part of $206,000 awarded to 13 his- toric properties and archaeol- ogy projects around the state. Allen Building in Astoria sold New dock planned along Youngs Bay By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Corp., in February secured a building permit for a new storage building at the site. Cullen was not imme- diately available for com- ment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is taking com- ments on the project until Aug. 1. Ted Osborn, a local archi- tect and preservationist, has sold the Allen Building at the corner of Commercial and 10th streets in Astoria to Lake Oswego couple Daniel Kaiser and Yvonne Troutman. Troutman, who manages a plastic surgery clinic in Clack- amas, said she and Kaiser, an auto dealership owner and for- mer world foosball champion, fell in love with Astoria and were looking for opportunities to invest locally. The two also own a 19th century duplex in Astoria and visit often. “It’s really important to me to keep the vibe of what Asto- ria is,” Troutman said. “My concern is that as it becomes a more popular destination, there will be more outside The Daily Astorian Local business owner Steve Cullen is creating a new recreational dock along Youngs Bay. Cullen owns a plot of land along Olney Avenue east of the Astoria Recreation Center. The Cullen Pier Resto- ration Project would connect two existing piers jutting out from the property, adding nearly 6,000 square feet. The project would also replace up to 60 historical pilings.
