City Closes Willamette Activity Center

The City of Oakridge has closed the Willamette Activity Center effective immediately.

The City Administrator Pro Tem Kevin A. Cronin was informed on April 6 by the City's insurance agent that the main policy was canceled.

As a result of having inadequate resources to safely insure the campus, along with the deteriorating condition of the building, the building has been closed. All tenants, permit holders, and volunteer organizations that have been using the campus are hereby given notice to vacate the premises by April 30. 

The City is collaborating with a community-based effort to find funding sources to either renovate or redevelop the site. The City Council will be considering further action on April 21 to ascertain a cost estimate for renovation and building condition as well as hear a report from the funding committee.

The future of the building and the site will be determined later this year once the City Council can make an informed decision after it gathers enough information.
