Lincoln City - Taft District Redevelopment Project
The Willamette Valley/Mid-Coast Regional Economic Revitalization Team, with the Oregon Department of Transportation in the lead, assisted the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency with its comprehensive downtown redevelopment plan for the Taft District. The goal of this flagship redevelopment project was to capitalize on the unique aspects of the Taft District, tying together the Siletz Bay front and the Highway 101 business district in a way that promotes Taft´s historic charm.
This project is the first step toward the completion of the "String of Pearls" program, featuring restoration of six neighborhood business districts of Lincoln City. The Urban Renewal Agency budgeted $5 million on a variety of redevelopment project to the area, including infrastructure, street and streetscape improvements, park improvements, burying utility lines and zero interest rehabilitation loans for property and business owners. The city´s improvements to 51st Street were coordinated with significant streetscape improvements made to Highway 101 by ODOT. Development of a village gateway and town plaza, as well as placement of public art, invite pedestrians to explore the Taft District´s shops and restaurants.
Lincoln City recently began work on the second historic district in its "String of Pearls" program, the Ocean Lake District.
