Blue Heron Mill - sold and resold


Portland's Langley Investment Properties makes an offer on Oregon City's Blue Heron mill


A Portland company made an offer this week to buy the Blue Heron paper mill in a deal that gives the firm up to two years to complete the transaction.


Langley Investment Properties submitted a letter of intent and is expected to sign a purchase agreement by the end of the month, said Peter McKittrick, the bankruptcy court trustee in charge of liquidating the Oregon City mill's assets

Next year, Oregon City will adopt a master plan that specifies zoning, street locations and open space requirements. That will give developers a clearer idea of what is permitted.
