Happy New Year from your Oceanside Action Partnership Board!
We are DETERMINED.
We are ENGAGED.
We are UNITED.
As we enter the beginning of a new year OAP would like to take a moment and thank everyone who participated and partnered with us last year to create and achieve what turned out to be an extremely productive and rewarding community coalition. With the hope of building on the momentum created we want to recap and highlight all of the accomplishments already realized in such a short amount of time. These results serve to demonstrate your determination, engagement and unity in improving our community.
The highlights we realized in 2023 are as follows:
- Banded together for OCC to receive $58,500 in TLT funding for the Upper Parking Lot resurface and completed the project.
- Assisted in fulfilling the requirements to complete the Stair Lighting Project to close the PUD Grant.
- Partnered with Tillamook Public Works, TrailKeepers of Oregon, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, Netarts WEBS, Netarts Oceanside Fire Protection District and submitted a grant for the Short Beach Trail redesign and redevelopment.
- Formed a Trails Team which is busy mapping trails connecting all neighborhoods and considering next steps, as well as informing the local community about the "Recreational Immunity" issue and circulating the Protect Oregon Recreation petition.
- Organized a Cell Reception Team which is busy researching options and bringing partners to the table.
- Designated a Signage Team that has already identified potential sites and is working on designs and sign content, while exploring funding from WayFinding.
- Organized and convened a meeting for all partners to create a water district intertie between Oceanside and Netarts Water Districts for use in an emergency.
- Initiated the formation of a Mixed Use Path Team that has met with ODOT and Public Works and outlined a plan to develop this project.
We have over 212 participants (and growing) representing all corners of Oceanside, commercial partners, public staff and elected officials. There is room for everyone interested in joining. Please check out our webpage at oceansideactionpartnership.org and let us know how you would like to help.
