Outdoor parklets could extend season for restaurants
Pamplin Media Group
After doling out thousands of dollars to dozens of small businesses immediately following the onset of the COV- ID-19 pandemic , the Wilsonville government is considering more ways to lend a hand .
During a Wilsonville City Council work session Monday , Nov . 2 , Economic Development Manager Jordan Vance said the city could choose to distribute about $ 40,000 in grants for eight to 12 local restaurants to construct outdoor parklets , add covering , heat lamps and lighting and invest in other tools to extend the outdoor dining season .
Based on a survey he conducted , Vance said business owners would prefer that the city help them construct parklets in front of their restaurants rather than creating a communal pavilion for various restaurants to sell food .
Despite the colder weather , he thought people would still want to eat outside .
“ I think people are restless in their homes . I think there ’ s a desire to get out safely , have a beer , meet someone for a bite to eat . Given our temperate climate , I think if the space is designed safely , comfortably , with ventilation , with covering , I personally think it could be viable ,” he said .
Additionally , Vance said the city could participate in a Small Business Saturday marketing campaign and continue a program it initiated last spring in which it provided gift cards to community members for use at

Something I ’ ve always been proud of is our company ’ s willingness to partner with local organizations to create
MONIHAN win-win outcomes . Such is the case with the Wilsonville Spokesman and the Charbonneau Country Club .
When we were first approached by Larry Walker three years ago about this idea , I felt this was a great opportunity for both our organizations to benefit .
Not only would Charbonneau benefit from our ability to keep the Villager serving as the communication vehicle for its residents , but the Spokesman would benefit by increasing our pools of news contacts , local readers and businesses interested in advertising with us .
Most importantly , this partnership represented another way that we can continue to protect and save community journalism .
Every day the employees of the Pamplin Media Group strive to create stronger communities by informing and engaging our readers with great local news . But to do this , has a cost .
Unfortunately gone are the days when we could count on our advertising to fully financially support us . Google , Facebook and Amazon have not been kind to not only local media companies , but many of the businesses we use to count on for advertising to support our hard work .
Which is why this partnership is so important . It not only helped to provide a new source of advertising revenue for us , but also the opportunity to gain new subscribers who value the importance of local news .
What I ’ m asking of you now as readers of the Villager , is that you consider becoming subscribers to the Wilsonville Spokesman or any of the Pamplin Media Group ’ s 19 other weekly newspapers and websites .
As residents , I know many of you value the great sense of community Charbonneau has to offer . We do to , and we truly believe that great communities are engaged and informed communities . Which is why Corey Buchanan , our assistant editor at the Spokesman , dedicates most of his work week to covering the local happenings in Wilsonville and Charbonneau .
“ Whether it be the occasional water rate hike or the progression of a proposed bicycle , pedestrian and emergency vehicle bridge that would add a connection between Charbonneau and the rest of Wilsonville , the decisions Wilsonville
City Council and other elected bodies make affect your lives in tangible ways ,” he said . “ Staying on top of what ’ s going on provides you the tools you need to understand the issues and make your voices heard .”
As subscribers , you can help us continue to serve Charbonneau and Wilsonville to an even greater extent . We want to be your most trusted news source for all of Wilsonville , and not just the sections on the north side of the Willamette River . Charbonneau is a unique but important part of town and we do our best to thoroughly document what ’ s happening there as well as detail how decisions made elsewhere impact your community .
We want to tell more stories of local neighbors doing amazing things , of lives well lived and holding local officials accountable for their actions . On a daily basis , we see multiple opportunities for us to write more stories about local people , local businesses and local sports teams . Our news is a living history of each of our communities and something we all need to cherish and support . For just $ 43 per year ( 83 cents per week ) your support can help us serve you better .
And if you happen to be a business owner , or know a business that advertises , please encourage them to work with the Pamplin Media Group . Advertising still supports a majority of our work . And because our newspapers and websites are still the most read sources for local news in each of our communities , we are able to offer competitive advertising packages to help them dominate their local market . All we ask is that they give us the opportunity to meet with them to explain what we have to offer .
