Dear Willamette Falls Heritage Area Coalition:

On behalf of the City of Newberg, I strongly voice our support of the Willamette Falls Heritage Area Coalition and endorse your request to Congress for National Heritage Area designation for the Willamette Falls area and the upriver Willamette River historic areas.

The City Council took action on Monday, May 18 by passing Resolution 2015-3188 in support of your endeavors to bring recognition to the Willamette Falls area for its distinct and nationally significant historic character.

The City of Newberg is part of the rich history of the Willamette Falls region and supports your efforts to manage and promote this area as a national and statewide resource. This benefits not only our local communities but our local economy.

We support your efforts to attain National Heritage Area designation for this important place.

Sincerely,

Bob Andrews

Mayor
