Comments on: PCC pursues property in Columbia County via purchase and sale agreement /news/2018/10/omic-property/ Thu, 23 Dec 2021 20:07:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Ashley Meyer /news/2018/10/omic-property/#comment-30169 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 01:04:29 +0000 /news/?p=34901#comment-30169 The manufacturing training center sounds like an amazing opportunity for the community! Getting young people to learn robotics, industry, and machining is a valuable pursuit, not to mention the jobs this will create! My spouse is a machinist, so it excites me to learn that’s what PCC intends to use the land for.

We are a little concerned for the trees in the area though. There are many ancient maples and firs surrounding a relatively unknown pioneer graveyard. Painters have enjoyed coming to this site to paint the trees, and we’ll be going out there again in just a couple weeks. Hopefully, when it comes time to build, you can incorporate these trees into the development, giving the students quite a bit of nature to enjoy. My favorite place to take classes at PCC was Sylvania because of all beautiful trees just outside the classrooms. By preserving these trees, this Traning Center would no doubt carry that same spirit that makes Sylvania so great!

I hope that the popularity of the Crown Zellerbach Trail is taken in to consideration during construction, and is highlighted as part of PCC’s sustainability efforts. Running through the projected job site/access road, it is a very popular mountain biking, and hiking trail.
