Nearly a year after a partnership created to redevelop a piece of Albany’s downtown dissolved, the Wells Fargo project came before the city’s urban renewal district with more bad news.
I m still chewing on the announcement by Oregon State University that enough donations have been secured to move forward with the final phase of their remodeling of Reser Stadium.
Itâs been a long slog. The east side was upgraded in 2005, with further improvements following every few years. The latest proposal, which will finish the job, is tentatively scheduled to be ready in 2023 at a cost of $150 million.
The 2022 season seems likely to provide a stern test, given that the west side still will be under construction with a capacity that remains to be determined.
Ah, capacity ⦠there is another issue. OSU officials say the new Reser will be âright-sizedâ at somewhere between 35,000 and 39,000. That is down substantially from its peak above 46,000. OSU is not alone in green-lighting stadium redos that lower capacity: Cal, ASU and Stanford all have done so. And Stanford went from 85K to 50K, potentially a huge loss of revenue.
Oregon showed sharp declines last week in daily COVID-19 case counts, hospitalizations and deaths, the Oregon Health Authority noted on Wednesday â encouraging signs after months of bad news as the pandemic approaches its first anniversary in the state.
In a weekly update, OHA reported there had been a total of 4,049 new cases of the disease from Feb. 1-6. That number was down 15% from the week before and was the lowest weekly total in three months.
During the same span, new COVID-related hospitalizations dropped from 251 to 230, an 8% decline, while deaths attributed to the disease fell to 66, the lowest weekly tally since mid-November.

MEDFORD, Ore. Disputing claims of her alleged political bias point-by-point, a federal judge refused to step aside in an Eagle Point, Ore., man’s $21 billion lawsuit seeking to halt the governor’s emergency orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken on Wednesday denied for a second time Southern Oregon rancher Francis Steffan Hayes’ request for a preliminary injunction putting a stop to state emergency orders. Hays claims in a lawsuit that that his constitutional rights were violated because he couldn’t buy feed for his livestock last summer without wearing a mask.
