820 Exchange Elevator to Temporarily Close, 800 Exchange Elevator Returned to Service 

ASTORIA, OR — Clatsop County is preparing to transition into the next phase of its multi-building elevator modernization project. The elevator in the 800 Exchange Building has returned to service, marking the completion of its modernization. On December 8, 2025, the elevator in the 820 Exchange Building will be taken out of service for modernization work.  

“We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this multi-step modernization effort,” said Matt Gerber, Facilities Manager. “These upgrades are essential to improving safety, reliability, and ADA accessibility across our County facilities.” 

Staff and visitors may experience temporary disruptions in the 820 building. However, these can be minimized by using the 800 building elevator, which connects to 820. Clatsop County will continue to provide reasonable accommodations and communicate alternate access plans as needed. 

The elevator modernization project is part of Clatsop County’s continued investment in maintaining safe, accessible, and efficient facilities for the public and employees. For updates visit Clatsopcounty.gov.
