South Beach Placemaking Project
The purpose of the South Beach Placemaking Project is to enhance South Beach’s sense of place by investing in landscaping, improving wayfinding, and adding amenities including public art.
Since the establishment of an urban renewal district in Newport’s South Beach area in 1983, the Agency has made progress in achieving its objectives but acknowledges that the South Beach area still faces key transportation, redevelopment, and placemaking barriers.
The Agency’s goal as part of this process is to promote a sense of place for residents and visitors that reflects the South Beach identity. This area features the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, OMSI’s Camp Gray, the Port of Newport’s South Beach Marina and RV Park, Oregon Coast Community College, and the Newport Municipal Airport. In addition, residents of the Wilder community, a South Beach neighborhood designed to be a sustainable walkable neighborhood, will contribute to and benefit from South Beach services and amenities.
