Programs described in its return (3)
- These contributions address emergency preparedness and safety initiatives: At the start of 2025 there was only 1 entrance into the town of Neskowin. There was a dangerous risk if an earthquake or other event would make the only bridge unpassable. If that happened emergency vehicles could not get into the town and residents could not leave the town. The county contributed to a large road repair project by funding the materials, while local residents donated to fund the remaining expenses of the project. The NCA raised money from the community as well as contributed organization funds. The project was completed during 2025 and we now we have an egress road the can be used in an emergency. Total for this project: 60,466 The NCA also completed a beach access safety project during 2025. This involved railings, repair to stairs, entrances and signage. Total for this project: 10,666
