Looking to Phase 2 of the downtown plan
C
reating a vibrant business district
in the downtown area of Warm
Springs has been a vision among
planners and tribal leaders for de-
cades.
The first phase of realizing this
vision—removal of some obsolete
buildings and their underground
tanks—is finished, with positive
results already visible.
The second phase will involve
the removal of more abandoned
BIA structures around campus,
along Hollywood Boulevard, and
elsewhere.
A third phase will be the replace-
ment of underground infrastruc-
ture on the campus—at which
point downtown business develop-
ment could really take off.
The official tribal plans for the
downtown have changed over the
years, as new studies and new tech-
nology have come into play.
But the core idea—creating a
thriving business district serving the
community—has stayed essentially
the same, said tribal planner Lonny
Macy.
The plans have envisioned ser-
vices such as a bank, stores, beauty
shop, parking and park areas, etc.
The Warm Springs Agency at the turn of the century was dominated by the boarding school (top
center) and the Presbyterian Church. And the commissary (third building from right) still stands.

This vision has stayed the same; but
what has changed over the years is
how to achieve the goal.
Mr. Macy, Utilities general man-
ager Travis Wells, and Community
Action Team director Chris Watson
hosted a community meeting last
week on the latest developments
with the downtown.
Mr. Macy focused on overall
planning matters, Mr. Wells on in-
frastructure issues, and Mr. Watson
on the ‘commissary business incu-
bator’ plan. Clearly, the downtown
plan is gaining momentum, as the
first phase—in discussion for
years—is now complete.
