Approved!

The Milwaukie Planning Commission unanimously approved Clackamas Web Academy’s land-use application for the former Bob’s Red Mill building by a 5–0 vote.

​

This approval is an important milestone as we work toward creating a permanent home that will expand opportunities for our students, families, and staff.

​

We extend our sincere appreciation first to the Milwaukie Planning Commissioners for their thoughtful consideration of CWA’s application. We also extend special thanks to Rhys Konrad of Macadam Forbes; Matt Lowe and Keenan Ordon-Bakalian of Jordan Ramis; Brian Mares; Scott Edwards Architecture; Nick Mesler and Melissa Slotemaker of AKS Engineering & Forestry; State Representative April Dobson; the Lake Road Neighborhood District Association; members of the OMARK Business Center; the Oregon Department of Transportation; and the Directors of the Clackamas Charter Alliance and the Oregon Coalition of Community Charter Schools. Their expertise, guidance, advocacy, and support were invaluable throughout this process.

​

We are also deeply grateful to our families, staff, community partners, Bob’s Red Mill, and everyone who supported CWA along the way.

​

Although there are still additional steps ahead, we are excited to have reached this important milestone and look forward to sharing future updates with the CWA community.
