PORT ANGELES — They have come to Port Angeles from as far away as Boston and Ithaca, N.Y.
A seven-member group charged with assessing the vitality of the city’s business district and planning for the future was introduced to community leaders on Monday.
The group was featured at the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Port Angeles Crab House Restaurant at the Red Lion hotel.
The “sustainable design assessment team” is making an impartial three-day assessment of the city’s International Corridor Area, focusing on the beautification and revitalization of the district.
“This is a very important event for all of us here at the city, and certainly we’re extremely exited to have a number experts from across the nation who have proven track records to come here today and help us facilitate an area plan of what’s been determined to be a very significant corridor for Port Angeles,” said Nathan West, city economic and community development director.
The international corridor includes the strip of land near Front and Main Streets stretching from Valley Creek to the west, Ennis Creek to the east, the waterfront to the north and the bluffs to the south.
