All Are Invited to North Main Village Groundbreaking

More than four years of planning and hard work will be celebrated on August 15th at 10 a.m. as local dignitaries and regional partners break ground for the North Main Village. 

The project has long been pointed to as a cornerstone of the revitalization efforts focused in Downtown Milwaukie. 

The project is located on the old Safeway property at the corner of Main and Harrison Streets and consists of five buildings; a large apartment building fronting Main Street, three buildings with townhouses and condominiums, and one that features a pair of “Granny Flat” apartments. The buildings fronting Main and Harrison will be mixed-use, with commercial uses on the bottom floors and residential on top. 

The North Main Village Project carries added importance in that it is the first major project to reflect the new design criteria as outlined in the City’s Downtown Design Guidelines. 

To view conceptual drawings of the project visit the Neighborhood Booth at the Milwaukie Farmer’s Market. 

Those responsible for helping make the North Main Village a reality will be on hand at the Groundbreaking to offer remarks and the entire community is invited to take part in the celebration. Parking will be available at the Ledding Library (10660 SE 21st Ave.) and the Portland Waldorf School (21st and Monroe.)
