Supports the construction of a regional arts and cultural center for an intergenerational and ethnically diverse population, which will inspire people in Yamhill County and beyond to experience the arts, humanities, and heritage of the greater Chehalem Valley. Acting as the cultural hub of the area, the Chehalem Cultural Center will also contribute to the economic vitality of this beautiful and growing region as a central part of the downtown revitalization plan for Newberg, Oregon. Phase 1 of this project is currently out-to-bid; completion of the first wing (6 classrooms, office/meeting space, and gallery/event space) is scheduled for November 2009. Funds would be used for site work for Phase 2 of construction, including excavation and grading for new additions to the building, facilities construction, and landscaping. Significant private donations will be contributed to this portion of the project, and a bond issue is also planned.
