Knife River Gives Up On Plans
From the minutes of the April 16 FOCV Executive Committee Meeting:
NEWS FLASH: Knife River has signed a “Release of Purchase Option” between them and Pioneer Industrial. Effect April 1, 2023 Knife River terminated their interest in the property. Concrete will be trucked in from their Gresham plant. It appears we have won the first battle. The property still is zoned railroad industrial. If the property sells without changing the zoning back to “Light Industrial” there is a high probably that we will be fighting yet another company that presents hazards to our health, our ecosystem, and our home values. WE MUST REMAIN WATCHFUL! Vigilance, patience, and awareness is now required.
Please see the full minutes for more details.
Amberglen Good Works is working in cooperation with the Friends of Central Vancouver to stop the planned construction of a concrete batch plant adjacent to the Mt. View Estates neighborhood, less than 3/4 mile from Amberglen. We urge all of our neighbors to help in any way possible. Please contact us by email at amberglengoodworks@gmail.com, or speak to a member of the AGW Steering Committee to find out what you can do.
