What do you want Neskowin to be?
Neskowin is special. On this we all can agree. In the Values Statement of the Neskowin Community Plan, we list the things that make Neskowin dear to us, the things that make Neskowin a place like no other. We set forth these Values together, as a community, so that decision makers in Tillamook and Salem and beyond will know what matters to us when they make decisions that affect our community.
You can help update the Neskowin Values Statement for 2024! The Neskowin Community Plan Steering Committee is holding input sessions in April, May and into the summer to hear from you about what you want Neskowin to be.
Check out input sessions that have already happened HERE.
Please join us at this meeting on May 2nd to build on the current Values Statement from the late Nineties, the input we received in April, and to share new ideas.
These meetings will be held in “hybrid” format, meaning that participants have the option to attend in person, or via Zoom.
For in person attendees, this meeting will be held at the Neskowin Beach Golf Club clubhouse.

The current Neskowin Values Statement, drafted in the late Nineties, reads:
Neskowin citizens want Neskowin to be:
a place where safety, adequate utility services, and essential pedestrian streets are priorities.
a place where a quiet, natural, beach atmosphere is found in individually owned properties as well as along the streets and on public property.
a place where the environment and beauty of natural setting is prized.
a village predominantly made up of private residences with a minimum of commercial activity and a respect for appropriate construction guidelines.
a place that has a community spirit and friendly atmosphere, and yet also has a respect for individual privacy.
a place where children and their education are prized and the arts are encouraged.
a place that is committed to preserving its village feel and special qualities through seeking the opinions of its permanent and intermittent residents and then conveying those opinions collectively and democratically to county and state agencies as well as to all individuals thinking about becoming a part of the community and its future.
