Presentation by Nan Devlin, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association

The City Council meeting began with a presentation by Nan Devlin, Director of the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association. Devlin discussed the Facilities Facade Improvement Grants and the Marketing Grant, both of which went live recently. She noted that there had been significant interest and inquiries from local businesses, indicating a positive response to the initiatives. Devlin explained that businesses awarded a facade improvement grant could receive half of their grant money upfront, which was a welcome change for many small businesses that previously struggled with the upfront cost requirement.

Devlin also introduced ideas for off-season activities, suggesting a month-long food event called "Crave the Coast," which would involve local restaurants creating special menu items to attract visitors in October. Additionally, she proposed a birding event, modeled after a successful event previously held in Pacific City, combining birdwatching with music and food. She suggested that such events could be held at various venues, including the Rockaway Beach Wayside or local schools.
