HERALD FILE PHOTO BY GARY L. WEST Lt. Col. Dan Vawter (left) of the Oregon National Guard accepts 6.6 acres of city-owned land in a presentation with Mayor Frank Harkenrider (right) in December 1991. The property, located in southeast Hermiston, was presented for construction of a new armory. Earlier plans to build near the Hermiston Butte were blocked by community opposition. “I’m sorry I was maybe against the other spot (at the butte),” Harkenrider said to Vawter, “but I think it worked out for the best.” Vawter said the delay could jeopardize the project because of federal cutbacks in defense and the state’s budget in the wake of the property tax limiting Ballot Measure 5. Despite concerns for funding the $1.8 million project, Vawter remained optimistic. “I expect to get the armory built,” he said, with construction expected to start in 1993. The armory was built. The facility, located at 900 SE Columbia Drive, was dedicated on Aug. 9, 1997.
