RiverWalk, a bright future that respects our past

RiverWalk is an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate our community. Combining an ideal location, economic opportunity, and a sound vision, RiverWalk will be a landmark on the Columbia River.

Uses for all

The development will likely feature a mix of uses: retail, office space, hotel, residential, park, harbor, and boat storage. Special emphasis is being placed on creating an "18-hour neighborhood" accessible by land or water.

Asset for the community

With the ideas and vision of the community, we can transform this area to create one of the West Coast's premier mixed-use waterfront developments that preserves the unique history of our region and improves access for all - whether for work or for play.

The Camas-Washougal area currently offers a limited selection of shopping (particularly apparel, general merchandise, and destination retail). This means money that could be spent in our local community is spent elsewhere.

Funds kept in our community help with local improvements, such as parks, schools, recreation areas and other local needs. The population within a five-mile area of the site is projected to grow to nearly 75,000 residents by 2025 -- double our current population.

RiverWalk could help keep sales dollars in our community and would draw new money that is currently spent elsewhere in Clark County and across the river in Oregon.

Gateway to the Columbia River Gorge

Located between SR 14 and the Columbia River, RiverWalk could welcome local residents and visitors alike as a community gateway to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.

RiverWalk would generate revenue from retail sales, sales and property taxes, and wages paid to newly created jobs. Tax revenues could help fund community and infrastructure upgrades.

RiverWalk is a public-private partnership - a collaboration between the community, the Port of Camas-Washougal and RiverWalk LLC. It would be built on Port land with private investment, with no public funding of the final development, thereby fulfilling the needs of our community as well as attracting visitors as a distinctive destination.
