²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù bought the former Oregon Motor Pool Facility in 2010 with a vision of creating a trades facility within the industrial core of Swan Island to meet the needs of the businesses in the area. In 2012, the State Legislature authorized $1 million to go towards construction of the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù center in addition to the $7.3 million earmarked from ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s 2008 voter-approved $374 million bond.
