The Downtown Welcome Center will be closed for renovations and will be moving to a temporary location on March 1. The temporary location is across 6th Street at 138 SE G Street inside the mall of shops on the northeast corner of 6th and G streets.
The remodel is scheduled to last through September. The phone number remains the same: 541-476-7574. The restroom will be closed during the renovation. There are two public restrooms in the Beaver parking lot at 7th and G Streets, and in the Osprey parking lot at 5th and H Streets.
The existing building had several structural and cosmetic issues that needed to be addressed. The City Council invested considerable time considering options for both the interior and exterior features of the Welcome Center in the heart of the City’s Historic District. The revised building plan will leave a positive impression on those who travel through downtown Grants Pass.
This renovation includes the installation of three exterior-facing ADA-accessible restrooms and exterior modifications including restoring the look of the original colonial building. The project also includes landscape and patio improvements to remove trip hazards and improve the functionality of the exterior space as well as interior modifications and reconfiguring the offices to allow for additional staffing in the building.
