What We Do
Work in Progress: The complexity of the site and stakeholders involves in-depth understanding of guidelines and regulations. While these conversations are on-going, we have made substantial progress within the last six months:
Solicited Scopes of Work from contractors for feasibility study & assess overall project cost.
Partnering with the University of Oregon Landscape Architecture Program to develop professional visual mock-ups of the site
Met with Oregon Department of Transportation regarding project feasibility, potential design construct, and historic preservation
Facilitating stakeholders meetings with local politicians and community leaders
Met with local Parks & Recreation Departments and Travel Lane County
Partnered with Willamette RiverKeepers
Seeking support from trusted nonprofits improves Park’s brand in community
Short Term Objectives:
Developing a fundraising plan to implement a project feasibility study and other costs associated with design consulting and permits
Increase board members to reflect a diversity of stakeholders
Work with local business to garner support.
Create an economic viability study to assess potential tourism benefits
Moving Forward:
We are in communication with critical stakeholders. We are seeking input from governing agencies, small businesses and nonprofits. Community support is critical for the long-term success of the Whitewater Park and a pre-requisite for fundraising.
