MCCFA coordinates with Oregon District on 5th Street Experience to improve connectivity
Summary
Montgomery County Convention Facilities Authority representatives described coordination with Oregon District leadership, including newly appointed chair Asha Parson, and presented an urban design study with short‑ and long‑term recommendations for the 5th Street Experience to connect the Convention Center and Oregon District.
Pam Plageman said MCCFA is coordinating with Oregon District leadership and identified Asha Parson as the newly appointed Board Chair involved in 5th Street Experience planning. The presentation referenced an Urban Design Study for the Oregon District and described short- and long-term recommendations to improve connectivity and the overall visitor experience between the Convention Center and the Oregon District.
Slides included maps and design recommendations and linked the 5th Street Experience to projected increases in sales tax and district revenue. Plageman framed the effort as collaborative work between MCCFA and district stakeholders; the slides stop short of listing specific funding commitments or required approvals from the County.
Commissioners did not take a formal vote on the 5th Street Experience during this session; the materials were presented for informational and planning purposes.
