Building: ‘My main goal is to sublease’
Continued from Page 1A
The wood staircase was
stained a dark brown to match
the color of the Roman col-
umns. A print of Michelange-
lo’s “The Creation of Adam”
can be seen on display above
when descending the staircase.
“My main goal is to sublease
and to create spaces and envi-
ronments that you could just
move in here and run your own
business,” he said.
From a deli or coffee shop,
to a secondhand store or vintage
dealer, Hicks wants it all to fit.
“I’d really like to have stuff
in here that is relevant,” he said.
“That’s something people need
here in downtown Astoria.”
Hicks will initially have to
run his own inventory to get
Astoria Court off the ground.
Some of his successful
inventory from Hollywood Vin-
tage has already made its way
to Astoria. Rows of vintage and
commercial eyeglass wear hang
on the racks near windows at the
front of the building. A collec-
tion of men’s hats occupy two
square sections at the entrance.

William Hicks, owner of Hollywood Vintage in Portland, has brought some of his inven-
tory to the new Astoria Court.
“It’s getting real close,” he
said.
A grant from the state’s Dia-
monds in the Rough restoration
program will match Hicks’
estimated cost of $7,100 to
take down the Abeco sign and
restore the facade to its original
1940s look.
Hicks plans to reconstruct
the mezzanine level behind
the Abeco sign. After the
sign comes down, custom-
ers will be able to sit and
“watch the world go by”
through the second-story win-
dows overlooking Commercial
Street.
Zone: ‘We’ve got a lot of empty buildings to fill’
Continued from Page 1A
Commission, who attended
the City Council meet-
ing Monday. The Port is in
the process of upgrading the
East Mooring Basin to accom-
modate more cruise ships, as
well as other projects.
Still, in moving forward,
the City Council differs from
its partners in wanting to
ensure hotels and motels are
not eligible for enterprise zone
incentives, an option Spence
isn’t sure will be a possibility.
Food pantry: ‘I just don’t
know what’s going to
happen to the people here’
“There are four bodies
involved now and it has to be
uniform for all entities,” he
said, pointing out that the Port
has land reserved for a Marri-
ott hotel within the proposed
zone expansion. “So that ques-
tion will be up in the air and
will be debated later as to
whether such a restriction can
even happen.”
To date, no businesses in
Clatsop County have taken
advantage of the Clatsop
Enterprise Zone, but new proj-
ects and expansions are on the
horizon, especially with Asto-
ria on board.
“No one has a project per
se,” Estes told Brownson,
who asked if anyone besides
Hyak had approached the
city about the zone expan-
sion. “But they’re tracking the
movement.”
Melanie Olson, with Busi-
ness Oregon’s regional devel-
opment office, believes several
businesses in the downtown
core could be eligible for
enterprise zone incentives in
the next few years.
“It does seem like there
could be some in the down-
town area that could use this
tool,” she told councilors,
pointing to Pilot House Distill-
ing, Buoy Beer, Reach Break
Brewing and Fort George
Brewery.
“It seems like anything that
brings a business in would be
a good thing,” Mayor Arline
LaMear said after the meeting.
She voted in favor of joining
the enterprise zone in 2015.
“We’ve got a lot of empty
buildings to fill.”
Meanwhile, money the pantry
received from the city in 2015
in the form of a social service
grant through the Clatsop
Community Action Regional
Food Bank has run out.
The city’s decision to give
money to the food pantry in
2015 — $5,000 from the War-
renton Business Association,
a city advisory board tasked
with distributing business
license income — was con-
troversial. City leaders ques-
tioned the constitutionality of
government directly provid-
ing funds to a church-run non-
profit and decided to pass the
money through the regional
food bank instead.
The grant helped the pan-
try stabilize operations. It paid
the pantry’s bills and allowed
managers to purchase extra
food or items beyond what the
pantry received as one of the
regional food bank’s partner
organizations.
Calvary Assembly of God
subsidized the pantry when the
grant money dwindled.
This arrangement became
an issue after the church hired
Guiendon as a dedicated pas-
tor last year and struggled to
cover his salary on top of the
food pantry’s bills, said Meri
Paddock, worship pastor at
Calvary.
When Guiendon arrived,
the congregation had dwin-
dled to only nine people. It has
since grown to 50 people, “but
the money doesn’t flow imme-
diately,” Guiendon said.
The food pantry is pretty
much the only one of its kind
in the city, said Dusten Martin,
chief operations officer for the
Clatsop Community Action
Regional Food Bank. Another
church-run pantry is only open
once a month.
If the pantry is struggling to
make ends meet, Martin said
he and food bank staff will ask:
“What can we do that we hav-
en’t already done?”
Martin is in conversa-
tion with Guiendon to under-
stand the scope of the pantry’s
needs. He didn’t want to spec-
ulate about the future of the
pantry yet.
But, he said, “We’re not
going to let people be out in
the cold, high and dry. We’re
going to make sure there’s a
mechanism in place to serve
folks.”
The food pantry distributes
food once a week, and serves
people in Warrenton, Ham-
mond and the Sunset Beach
area. It is staffed by just a few
community volunteers — usu-
ally around four to six people
— and provides a mix of fresh
produce, dry goods and pack-
aged food.
Tom Bonine and Shawna
Denney, who co-manage the
pantry, said it is important to be
able to provide people with a
variety of food options. Some
of the people who come for
food have no way of cooking
or storing perishables and need
items that are easily portable.
As Bonine and Denney
worked to unload food out of
the back of Denney’s pickup
truck last week, they talked
about the future of the pantry
and the young families, elderly
people and homeless who rely
on the food.
“I just don’t know what’s
going to happen to the people
here,” Denney said.
