Building the Vernonia School
Keeping it Local: KLS Surveying
What they do:
Land Surveying (staking building, water, sewer lines)
What’s the history?
Current owner and Vernonia resident, Don Wallace, bought the busi-
ness from long-time resident Jerry Keenan in 2004. Keenan, a for-
mer Crown Zellerbach employee, started his business by providing
surveying for local timber projects. Today, the business has diversi-
fied into construction and works in over seven counties, including
two in Washington state.
How’s business?
Work is down, like everyone else. Their current staff of six is half of
what they were a few years ago. The work is “week to week” rather
than being booked months in advance.
What this project means for business?
KLS has been working on the project for a year to prepare the site.
It represents about 20% of their workload and has “probably saved
laying off someone”. As an added benefit, the fact that it is a local
business helps cut down on transportation costs for the District.
What this project means for the community?
“We got hit hard by the 1996 flood and didn’t have flood insurance.
The next day I was working on the house; we had a one-year-old
and two-year-old daughter at the time. A high school boy stopped
and asked if I needed help. He stayed until 10 PM, hauling out wet
carpet. This is one of the few places where you have a community.
Building a new school keeps it a community. “
