tumwata village redevelopment and restoration project

under construction

A redevelopment and restoration project on a 23-acre site of the former Blue Heron paper mill in Oregon City, purchased by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. The project includes housing, a hotel, retail and office space, tribal activities space, and natural areas accessible to the public. About 40 old mill buildings have been removed, and the first phase of infrastructure and utilities is expected to break ground by May. Public access to the falls is expected to reopen by summer 2027, with the entire development taking about a decade to complete.
