Media Advisory: Fourth Plain Community Commons Grand Opening Celebration Sept. 23 (Photo) - 09/21/23

Vancouver, Wash. – The City of Vancouver, Vancouver Housing Authority (VHA) and Fourth Plain Forward invite media and members of the community to a grand opening celebration from 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, for Fourth Plain Community Commons, a community-focused development located at 2200 Norris Road, Vancouver, WA 98661.

Fourth Plain Community Commons is a first-of-its-kind, mixed-use partnership project between the City and Vancouver Housing Authority that adds 106 affordable housing units, 10,000 square feet of ground floor community space and a public plaza to one of Vancouver’s most diverse corridors. 

The community space includes a commissary kitchen that hosts a food-based incubator program for emerging food-based businesses, a shared office space to co-locate services to make it easier for residents and businesses to access resources and an outdoor public plaza with infrastructure to support a Vancouver Farmers Market satellite.

Speakers scheduled to be at the event include U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez, Sen. Annette Cleveland, Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle, mural artist Christian Tellez and more.
