Boise White Paper Property - Industrial Business Park

I will work to ensure that the development of the waterfront, Boise White Paper property, and the repurposing of the wastewater treatment lagoon is done with as much community input as possible and to ensure that the development is done in ways that protect the safety and health of our residents and the environment.

Here is a link to a brief summary of information about the Boise site sthelensoregon.gov/administration/page/industrial-business-park-0 It is essential to include as much public input as possible into the development of the Master Plan for the site.

I am especially excited that even though much of the property will be made available for industrial develoment, there is a significant amount of land that adjoins Milton Creek and could be incorporated into the City's park system. There once was a park owned by Boise with picnic tables and a play area. A variety of native plants thrive in some spots including camas and the increasingly rare fairy slipper orchid.
