Mayor: 'Hometown hero' banners coming to Bagley and Columbia; Evergreen Plant lease in place
Summary
Mayor James P. Graven said the city received about 17 hometown-hero banners to be displayed along Bagley and Columbia Roads and announced Sameno Box and Pallet has signed a long-term lease for roughly 80% of the Evergreen Plant, with at least 50 employees expected.
Mayor James P. Graven told council the city received "hometown hero" banners that will be displayed along Bagley and Columbia Roads and that the project honors local residents who served in the armed forces. "There are approximately 17 banners and each one tells a story of service, sacrifice and pride," Graven said, and he thanked Mary Beth Orr for her assistance.
Graven and Economic Development Consultant Tom Jordan also reported that Sameno Box and Pallet—established in 1945—has signed a long-term lease to occupy about 80% of the Evergreen Plant and expects at least 50 employees. Jordan said the lease is in a due-diligence phase, that the current owner will remain, and that any building alterations would be handled through planning commission review or a potential CRA participation request if the tenant seeks incentives.
