Philomath downtown streetscapes stakeholder group - continued to actively participate in the philomath downtown streetscapes stakeholder group planning for enhanced amenities in the downtown community core to be completed in 2019 and incorporating public art projects into the plan where viable. Activities of the stakeholder group were limited due to lack of funding for the oregon department of transportation's share of the project.

Funding is still allocated for artwork within the park when construction does commence. Annual maintenance of existing artwork installations was completed.
