The Dalles Moves Ahead With Federal Street Plaza Grant Application

The Dalles City Council voted to move ahead with an application to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department for a grant to assist in development of a public plaza on Federal Street.  OPRD’s Local Government Grant Program allows the City to seek up to $75,000, with a local match of $30,000 required.  Applying for the grant would not compel the City to do the project, for which funds are allocated in both the City and Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency budgets in the upcoming fiscal year.  Community Development Director Steve Harris told the Council the state’s COVID-19 related budget issues make learning whether they would receive the funds an unknown.  Public design workshops were held this past February to solicit comments on potential design elements and programming needs for a public plaza.   A final design concept will come before the City Council and Urban Renewal at a later date.
