The Port of Centralia Commission approved a $3,000 contribution to the Centralia Downtown Association’s annual holiday decorations program Wednesday. The port joins its newest tenant, Logistics Property Company, who donated $10,000 toward the cause. The decorations will be on display throughout the downtown Centralia area this holiday season.
The Centralia Downtown Association, a Main Street America 2025 affiliate and part of the National Main Street movement, partners residents, merchants, and local leaders to beautify and further enrich downtown Centralia. The group works to celebrate the downtown district’s history while revitalizing the area for the community.
Kyle Heaton, port executive director, said during the port’s Wednesday business meeting that this year’s decorations will be wreaths rather than the usual garlands.
“The holiday decorations are a wonderful tradition that showcase Centralia’s character and charm,” Port of Centralia Commissioner Julie Shaffley said. “These decorations bring joy to residents and visitors alike and reflect the community spirit that makes Centralia such a special place. As we look to a new year, the port is honored to contribute to this effort while continuing our mission of creating jobs and supporting local families.”
