City Core Revitalization and Restoration
This transformative project reimagines the heart of Toledo as a pedestrian-first historical destination. The plan includes redeveloping the area between 2nd Street and the Cowlitz River into a walkable town square with historically inspired architecture, community gathering spaces, and adaptive reuse of key structures like the old fire station.
Plans call for small storefronts, a heritage-themed brew pub, a general store or creamery, and integration with public art and interpretive signage. The design echoes early 20th-century architecture to preserve Toledo’s identity while fostering economic vitality.
With the fire station relocating and city hall requiring replacement, the opportunity exists to consolidate civic services at a new location and repurpose the city center as a heritage attraction that supports tourism, small business, and public life.
