There is a lot happening at the City of Manzanita worthy of celebration! Mark your calendar for the third annual Holiday Tree Lighting party on December 6th starting at 4pm. Santa will be arriving on the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue Big Rig, and the Neah Kah Nie choir will be performing this year! Holiday DJ, cookies, and warm beverages will be provided for your enjoyment. Please join your friends and family for this holiday tradition on the site of the new city hall at 655 Manzanita.

Pedestrians and Cyclists celebrate as Manzanita City Council adopted a reduced speed limit of 20 miles per hour in the city to help create a safer environment for walkers and bikers! The city has a limited number of FREE yard signs available for pick up during city hall office hours 9-12pm, Monday through Thursday. Show your support for “20 is Plenty” in the city by placing one of these limited-edition signs in your yard!

Last but not least the City is updating the Comprehensive Plan for the first time in nearly 30 years! The Comprehensive Plan provides a policy framework to guide the future of Manzanita. This plan is community driven which means we need to hear from you! We held our first community summit on October 28th to a sold-out house at the Pine Grove Community Center where community members shared their ideas on the future of housing in our community. But we want to hear from more of you, so we have posted a survey online for you to take to give us your input. There is a recording of the meeting introduction and a short survey – please take the time to share your ideas about the future of housing in our wonderful city. You can link to the survey from the city’s main page at www.ci.manzanita.or.us/ There are also lots of resources available about the effort on the project website.

Thanks for all you do to make Manzanita a wonderful place to live, work and play! See you at the Holiday Tree Lighting.
