We've got BIG news! The City of Mill City awarded the Mill City Falls Park & Elizabeth Creek Outfall contract to Farline Bridge, Inc. last month. Today, Farline Bridge, Inc. began mobilizing, removing trees, and prepping their access for the project.

The project will include removal of the failed retaining wall, stabilization/streambed enhancement, construction of sidewalk, retaining wall overlook, plantings, site furnishings, historic lighting and a natural play area.

Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16, 2026, Farline Bridge, Inc. will start work at 6:00 a.m. to accommodate short time frames for portions of the project. The overall project is expected to be completed in September 2027.

While we understand that this is a big deal and will be interesting to watch, please be conscious of the dangerous conditions that may present themselves during the project and remain clear of the work area. A temporary fence has been placed; only authorized personnel may access beyond it.

We apologize for the inconvenience of having this area inaccessible during summer and thank you for your patience while we make Mill City Falls Park a beautiful focal point for the community.

The window is open.....pretty sure we just foiled a jail break. Mayor Millie looks less than enthused that her attempt at freedom must wait until another day.

A great opportunity for first time home buyers who lived in any of the fire affected areas in 2020.

Are you looking for a way to serve? Interested in parks and recreation? Oregon Parks and Recreation Dept (OPRD) is looking for an individual to serve on the Local Government Grant Program Advisory Board.

Mill City has been the recipient of several OPRD grants over the years, including one that we're currently working on for Mill City Falls Park. This position would be a great way to see other park projects, similar to what we had to compete against for funding and help to decide what communities will benefit from this amazing grant for the 2026 cycle.

Go to the link in the attached flyer for more information.

We've got some more wind heading our way tomorrow. Looks like 9AM to noon will be strongest in our area. Make sure to tie down any outdoor decor that you can and be aware of your surroundings in case tree branches or other objects fall.

Wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph is expected across southwest Washington and northwest Oregon on Wednesday, December 24. This graphic shows the timing of the strongest winds. The winds will start to the south in Lane County around 7 am, reach the Portland/Vancouver Metro area around 10 am, and southwest Washington around noon. The strong winds will persist 1 to 3 hours for each location.
