Work on the Mill Creek Community Center in Woodburn continues to roll along, with plenty of positive benchmarks being reached. As of now, the wall framing is in place and crews are working on internal systems and services before sheetrock installation begins. Planning for the renovation began in spring 2025 and if all continues to go well, the grand opening is slated for sometime in winter 2027. How We Got Here In January 2025, Woodburn City Council members voted to move forward with a revised plan for the community center project, capitalizing on the $15 million grant awarded to Woodburn by the State of Oregon. This funding would allow the city to use available resources to upgrade the existing Aquatic Center and expand it to incorporate essential community center features without incurring additional costs to local taxpayers.
