Cars fly by on Franklin Boulevard, whooshing through Glenwood, some occasionally honking in support of the dozen demonstrators in front of Camp Putt Adventure Golf Park on April 11. The demonstrators are Glenwood residents, some property owners, some renters, holding signs that say “Parks not hotels” and “Rivers over profit.”
Just a few hundred steps away is the site of a potential 20-story hotel complex that would occupy Willamette riverfront property, across from Island Park. The residents say they’re upset the current proposals could impact their neighborhood and the Willamette River and the city of Springfield hadn’t informed them about the projects, either.
Two developers hope for the chance to transform space along the Willamette River in Glenwood.
Glenwood Development, LLC, and LOCALIS Partners presented their plans to transform city-owned property along Franklin Boulevard on Monday night during a meeting of the Springfield Economic Development Agency.
One has proposed a development that would include the largest hotel and conference center between Portland and San Francisco.
The other has partnered with nearby property owners to propose a sports-anchored development that would help two local teams move up to a higher league of play and create a place for people to live, work and play.
Glenwood Development LLC prepares to present proposal
Both Glenwood Development LLC. and Localis will present proposals to the Springfield Economic Development Agency on Monday night to develop the Glenwood Riverfront area.

I believed it deserves the very best that anyon
