The Charleston Marina Complex Master Plan Steering Committee
will host a town hall meeting from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, May
20, 2013, at the
Charleston Marina RV Park,
63402 Kingfisher Road,
Charleston, OR 97420.
Overview
The
Oregon International Port of Coos Bay owns and operates the
Charleston Marina, the Charleston Marina RV Park and the
Charleston Shipyard, all of which serve various market
segments in the community – commercial fishing and seafood
processing, recreational fishing and boating, tourism and a
growing retail and commercial sector.
The port adopted a master
plan for the development and management of port-owned
property and marine related activities in the Charleston
area in the early 1990s and has updated that plan in early
2007 to reflect changing
economic conditions and shifts in facility usage during
recent years.
With completion
of several projects related to the plan, the port is again
working with community members in a collaborative process to
update the Master Plan. Port
staff is working with a staff person through the Resource
Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE)/Americorps to gather
community input from users of the
facilities, local area residents, other public agencies and
various advocacy and community support groups in the
Charleston area. From that information, the port will develop a comprehensive and flexible plan
that will produce the greatest benefit for Charleston and
Oregon’s Bay Area.
