Spilyay Tym oo, W arm Springs, O regon Page 3 August 8, 2012 New plan envisions future use of the campus area Before any new development could happen, the water lines and other infrastructure need to be replaced. B y D a ve M cM echan Spilyay Tymoo U nder the shade trees at the campus park, J ’Dean Kalama and family set up their fry bread and Indian taco stand. They stay open until later in the afternoon, or—on busy days— until they run out of fry bread dough. J ’D ean estim ates that about 60 customers a day from the highway stop at her stand. She advertises with two small signs placed a mile up the highway in each direction. “It can be very interesting on some days,” she says. “We’ve had people stop who are from Scodand, Thailand, Japan.” The customers are drawn by the opportunity to try au thentic fry bread and Indian tacos, and to meet with tribal members, J ’Dean’s business is a great example of the potential for economic and business devel opment at the campus. Development plan Tribal Council is exploring all avenues of potential rev enue and employment, and the campus is. one area of interest. Tribal planner Lonny Macy has been working with engineers on; a development plan for the campus. As the Dave McMechan/Spilyay Jackson Mitchell, J’Dean Kalama and Marie Kalama (from left) set up their Indian Taco/Fry Bread stand. plan summary states: “The campus site’s prox imity to Highway 26 presents and excellent retail opportu nity and source of economic stimulus.” Development projects at the campus would serve visi tors, while also serving the local community. The recent development plan, called the “Warm Springs Town Center Prop erty Summary,” lists several examples of possible proj ects for the area: A. grocery- store, barber shop, Subway or local deli, Chinese restaurant, hand made goods shop, plant nurs ery, bird store, outdoor hik ing supply shop, fishing and h u n tin g supply shop, laundromat, take-out pizza, etc. Macy explained that the grocery store idea envisions a store about the size of the one serving Terrrebonne. All of these ideas would happen some time in the fu ture. Meanwhile, there are immediate steps that need to be taken in order to bring about some development. For instance, chief opera tions officer Urbana Ross is working with the BIA on the removal of several old build ings from around the campus. In all, she said, there are* 19 structures to be removed.* “And we want to proceed with; five o f them immediately,”! she said. Ross, Macy and others tribal officials have met with| the BIA about the fate of the! old infrastructure at the cam-j pus, Before any new devel-S opm ent could happen, the’ water lines and other infra-s structure need to be replaced j Some of the lines date back, to the 1930s. The recent development plan includes cost estimates, for removal of the old infra-j structure, replacement of old: lines, and then the develop-! ment of new infrastructure.' Removal has a cost esti-_ mate of $1.5 million; and re placement, $1.3 million. The installation of new infrastruc ture has an estimated cost o f $8.9 million. The next task in the de velopment process is work-, ing with the BIA on thesej in fra s tru c tu re im p ro v e-, ments.
