Vogel Plaza
1997, $875,000In collaboration with the renovation of the Craterian Theater, Vogel Park was turned into Vogel Plaza. Overgrown vegetation was removed and pedestrian-friendly shade trees, benches, fountains, and brick pavers were installed in its place. Vogel Plaza serves as an enjoyable gathering place for visitors, employees, and residents of downtown. The adjoining intersection of Main Street and Central Avenue was rebuilt to include new curbs, pavers, planters, and traffic signals. Vogel Plaza was awarded the Governor's Oregon Livability Award and the Oregon Downtown Development Association Physical Improvement & Community Reinvestment Award.
