Good evening. In the newsletter today: Yesterday, I sat down with Scott Ramsey, the man who has been heavily involved in saving the old College of Philomath building, getting it on the national register and repurposing it into a senior center and other uses. This road began 20 years ago and it’s now beginning to pick up momentum.
Thanks for reading!
