The Downtown Camas Association is continuing the downtown revitalization started by the Downtown Vision Coalition, a City of Camas committee, in 2000. We are grateful for all of their diligent work over the years. The Downtown Camas Association was granted 501(c)3 tax exempt status in December of 2009 which will allow us to further our revitalization mission.
