Hermiston PROS Plan

Cameron McCarthy worked with the City of Hermiston to update their Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan in 2019-2020. Cameron McCarthy reviewed local demographics and inventoried current parks and recreation facilities. The project team created a public outreach process that amplified a diverse range of voices to reflect the entire community of Hermiston. The project team developed an inclusive process using bilingual communication and adapting to community needs. Residents’ voices informed the Plan recommendations, which identified and prioritized improving livability in Hermiston. The PROS Plan analyzed demographic gaps in the park and recreation service area and identified the need for trails and multi-modal connectivity within the park system. Adopted in the Summer 2020, the Plan proactively addressed the needs of a growing and diversifying Hermiston community.
