Conceptual Plan for Grain Silo Redevelopment <br /> <br />Source: City of Bondurant. <br />Independence Landing – Independence, OR <br />Categories: Hotel, Riverfront Revitalization, Events <br />Major Outcomes: New housing, hotel, and park adjacent to the historic downtown <br />Description: <br />Independence Landing is a suburb of Salem, Oregon that has in recent years branded itself as a gateway to the <br />Willamette Valley wine country. The City had spent approximately 15 years prior to forming a development partnership <br />revitalizing its downtown through investments in streetscape and a new park along the river featuring an outdoor <br />amphitheater similar to Elk River’s. In 2009, the City’s 2020 Vision Plan identified an 18-acre site on the river adjacent to <br />downtown as a key development opportunity. The City used a State transportation grant to fund concept plans for the <br />site, which it ultimately purchased in 2015. In 2017, the City entered into a development agreement with Tokola <br />Properties, which built a park, apartments, townhomes, and the first hotel in the city on the riverfront. <br />Page 152 of 157
