Commercial Development Coming To SR 19 Corridor

    Spurred on by the popular light industrial park next door, a section of land along SR 19 just south of Umatilla is set to be developed as an office/warehouse facility. The land, covering 5.8 acres between Mills Street and Jim Daughtery Drive, will be developed into five lots for the construction of commercial warehouse space similar to the Gateway Commerce Center, which lies just behind.
   The land has been earmarked for development for over a decade. Before the real estate market crash in 2007, the property had been approved for a retail store frontage and homes behind, but that project never moved forward.
   Today, the site, being developed by Senatore, Inc., will be developed in phases, with the first phase to include roadway improvements, and landscaping, with a first, 9,800 square-foot building included.
   The site will be served by city water and septic tanks.
   The Umatilla City Council approved of the project’s site plan during its meeting on Tuesday, June 17.
