Astor East Revised Urban Renewal Plan
City of Astoria, Astoria, Oregon
With three of Astoria’s most important institutions (college, school district, and hospital)directly interested in the Astor East site, the City faced a planning and design dilemma. MIG facilitated a stakeholder-driven approach involving the college, the school district, and the hospital, as well as the Development Commission and City government. Central to this approach was a three-day charrette, or interactive design and planning session. Based on the charrette's results, the MIG Team proposed and evaluated alternatives and developed a preferred alternative. Master planning for a community college campus is now underway.
