			<title>Update on the Tillamook market</title>
			<link>http://www.oregonbusiness.com/articles/74-december-2009/2644-a-downtown-anchor-#comment-333</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I received this recently from Doug Henson: As you all know, there has been a small group of people working hard to create the public market in downtown Tillamook. Many hours, weeks, and months have been spent doing all the necessary chores to bring it to the point it is now. I am sure each of the committee members would agree that it has proven to be a rather monumental project, but well worth doing. We had truly hoped to have the market open for the holiday season but for many reasons it is now quite obvious that we will not make that deadline. It seems that there has been one unforseen obstacle after another that has caused delay in our progress. As each one arises we find a way to work around it but it slows down our progress. Any time you take on a project that requires extensive remodeling of a 100 year old building there is bound to be issues and hurdles that surface. Perhaps it was extremely optimistic thinking on my part to believe that we could get it all done in a more timely fashion. I have spent the last few days talking with inspectors, building contractors, the building owner, and anyone else that would impact a realistic time frame. After listening to each and everyone of them very closely I then made a reasonable decision on an opening date for the public market. That date will be January 30th. This will allow plenty of time for the contractors to fulfill their obligations and will also allow adequate time for the vendors to enter the building without construction going on to prepare their individual spaces. The committee is already working on making that day a very special one.... I am sure that some of you are disappointed in the delay but I can honestly say that we have done all that we can possibly do to expedite this project. The Public Market committee continues to work toward making the market a highly successful project and we look forward to working with each and everyone of you. If you have any questions regarding the market please do not hesitate to contact me. Doug Henson 503.801.2663]]></description>
