AUGUST 2007: DISPATCHES
KLAMATH FALLS
The offices of the Herald and
News moved from downtown Klamath Falls to a new,
geothermally heated building in July. The $15 million project,
which includes the land, building and $3.4 million for new
presses, has been in the works for more than a year. The
state-of-the-art press will allow the parent company, Klamath Publishing, to take
on commercial print jobs. Gov. Ted Kulongoski will attend a
grand opening this month, when the new facility will be open to
the public.
Construction on TimberMill
Shores, a 50-acre mixed-use lakefront development in
downtown Klamath Falls, is under way. The developer’s
goal is to provide a “live, work, play
environment,” says Rob Shaw, president of TimberMill
Shores, by offering a compact, pedestrian-friendly environment
for its employees and residents. Previously a lumber mill, the
development will include a hotel, Oxford Suites, South Valley
Bank and Trust, title offices, retail and housing such as
condominiums and townhomes. The first phase of development is
expected to be complete by the end of the summer.
