A Little About Us

Origins

    • In October of 2006, more people attended the Horizons Project in Northport than any other community in Stevens County. The wide base representation which consisted of the Mayor, schools, and people of the community made the project a success and birthed the Northport Community Preservation and Restoration (N.C.P.R.) organization which formed in May of 2008.

      While yet unformed as NCPR, we perceived the need of our community, and wanted to be part of the Horizons Project. We met with the Mayor and others in the community of Northport to see if we could meet criteria for the Horizons Project Community Grant that was being offered to study poverty in rural communities such as ours.
      A grant was written to this end, and was accepted on November 14 of 2006 to bring change to our community through the studying of poverty.
      As part of the Horizon Project we studied poverty, its effect on the community, and ways to change the trend of those effects. Now as the Northport Community Preservation and Restoration organization we are implementing those changes for the betterment of our community.
      Under the NCPR banner we have:

      • Started an annual community cleanup effort in the Town of Northport to help those who need help and to beautify the city.
      • Pursued a grant for boat launch facilities in the Town of Northport to the end that we may have a safe harbor for boat activity, and safety for children who play at the park and recreational area near the waters edge, and as well as bring in tourism for the city of  Northport proper
      • Pursued a grant to install high speed Internet to the outer areas of the Town of Northport so that it will bring a sense of connection to the world at large, and financial opportunities to those who wish to pursue entrepreneurial relations with the Internet community

      In the future, NCPR is looking forward to:

    • Partnering with the community in more projects that are envisioned. These include but are not limited to a future Youth Center, Senior Meals program, Summer Lunch Program, Buy Local/Shop Local campaing and Local Area Map Brochure.
