Conceptual layout TD new medical complex

Conceptual layout of the proposed new medical complex between Sixth and 10th streets west of Weber in The Dalles is presented to the Wasco County Board of Commissioners Nov. 3. The complex would replace Kramer Fields and Wasco County yards/storage areas currently at the site.

THE DALLES — The feasibility of citing an athletic complex on property near the regional jail that was recently transferred to Wasco County ownership as part of a tax agreement with Google will be the subject of a grant-funded “brownsfield” study if a request by the Wasco County Board of Commissioners is approved by the state.

A brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which funds the studies.
