Public Facilities District
Master Plan
“The PFD’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, developed in consultation with Tuminello Consulting and Perteet Inc., characterizes Cowlitz County as a community in the midst of a major economic transition from a resource-based industrial jobs center to a service and tourist-oriented economy. With that in mind, the Strategic Plan indicates that the County will need to:
▪ Adapt and leverage its abundant local resources and unique capabilities.
▪ Identify programs and services that will support its continued economic growth and vitality.
▪ Identify new public amenities and enhancements to current PFD funded facilities that will improve the community’s lifestyle now and for generations to come.”
