Help Plan Coos Head, Sept. 22

Please Participate in the Draft Master Plan for Coos Head Currently Underway! After being taken by the U.S. over 140 years ago and developed into a military facility, Coos Head is once again under local CTCLUSI ownership and management. CTCLUSI has spent the past 10 years cleaning up this important cultural and historic site. The Coos Head environmental cleanup is now nearly complete and under a Transportation and Growth Management grant from the State of Oregon, we are now preparing a Master Plan for Coos Head. Please visit the Planning Department’s website to review and comment on the draft opportunities and constraints memorandum. Planning staff has directed the consulting team, led by Cogan Owens Greene, to consider both the Bal’diyaka Plan and also the Integrated Resources Management Plan for Coos Head as a basis for the Coos Head Area Master Plan or CHAMP. “We foresee an environmentally sensitive redevelopment of Coos Head as a benefit not only for Tribal members, but also for the greater Charleston and Coos Bay area economy” – Chief Warren Brainard. Early concepts show a tremendous opportunity for a cultural interpretive and retreat center at Coos Head to showcase the CTCLUSI culture and traditions which were nearly lost. This meeting is an opportunity to meet with staff, technical and citizen advisory committee members – hear information about the Bal’diyaka precedent study and draft plans. Help inform development of site options. All ages welcome * Light refreshments provided. Date: September 22, Time: 6 – 8 pm, Presentation at 6:30 pm, Location: Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) Boathouse, 63466 Boat Basin Rd., Charleston, OR 97420.
