Cowlitz County Event Center Renovation
Modernization and long-term improvements to support events.
Investing in community facilities through transparent, dedicated public funding
Our Role in Cowlitz County
The Cowlitz County Public Facilities District (PFD) is a state-authorized entity responsible for planning, funding, and overseeing major public facility projects that support economic development, tourism, and community use throughout Cowlitz County.
What is the PFD?
The Public Facilities District is separate from Cowlitz County government operations and is funded through a state-authorized sales tax rebate—not county general fund dollars. The PFD exists specifically to develop, renovate, and manage large public facilities that serve the broader community.
Committed to open access and accountability.
Meeting agendas, minutes, resolutions, and official documents are published to ensure transparency and public understanding of PFD actions.
Current Focus
The PFD currently oversees two major community investments. Both projects are part of a long-term plan to support economic growth and community activity.
Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts Rehabilitation
Preservation and modernization of a historic performing arts venue.
