HGE had a blast at the International Mass Timber Conference last week in Portland. We were inspired by so many great examples of biophilic design and the vast potential of mass timber. We hope to spread what we learned to the Southern Oregon Coast to promote this emerging construction method in the interest of a more sustainable future.

Douglas County Commissioners Chris Boice, Tim Freeman, and Tom Kress, along with Salmon Harbor Director James Zimmer and staff at Salmon Harbor Marina, a division of Douglas County Government, are excited to announce that they have started on the development of a new master plan exclusively for Salmon Harbor Marina and the Waterfront. Master plans provide a comprehensive look at the current economy and infrastructure while helping to identify other factors relating to development, planning, acquisitions, tourism, and sustainability. Master plans then go one step farther and provide a glimpse into the future growth of a community.

Salmon Harbor is partnering with Healthy Sustainable Communities (HSC) and HGE Architects, Inc., to craft a new master plan that not only lays the groundwork for a thriving and resilient future, but also identifies potential development sites and assesses infrastructure requirements. The new plan will also include considerations for future tourism opportunities, sustainability, community growth, support for our local commercial fisheries, and innovative solutions that enhance navigation within the marina. HSC and HGE were the successful bidders in the request for proposals process conducted in 2023. https://www.hscommunities.com/ and https://hge1.com/

The process for development of the new master plan will actively involve the residents, business owners, stakeholders, as well as the creation of a diverse Technical Advisory Committee representing various sectors of Salmon Harbor Marina and Waterfront communities. The process also includes the completion of a comprehensive market study, which is currently underway.

"This collaborative journey signifies our commitment to steering coastal Douglas County towards a sustainable and prosperous future," expressed Board Chair, Commissioner Chris Boice. "Through the combined efforts of our community, stakeholders, and expert advisors, we aim to establish a master plan that becomes a beacon of responsible development along the coast."

As this collaborative process moves forward our commitment remains steadfast in addressing our community's needs while proactively fostering public involvement and developing solutions that promote long-term, sustainable development. We anticipate that the unveiling of the new master plan will help us chart a course for new standards in growth, prosperity, and environmental resilience for coastal development.

We encourage residents, business owners, tourists, and stakeholders to stay informed and participate in shaping the future of Salmon Harbor Marina and the Waterfront by visiting the weblink provided below. Our new webpage will host documents, future open house announcements, and essential information during the master planning process. https://douglascountyor.gov/900/Master-Plan-2024.
