Oakdale moves forward on new Public Works campus project
The Oakdale City Council accepted bids for construction of a new Public Works campus during its Monday meeting, clearing the way for groundbreaking next month on a 9-acre site at 32nd and Granada Avenue.
The city has officially received a donated 9-acre parcel and transferred the deed into city ownership, a key milestone for the long-planned Public Works facility. The City Council's acceptance of bids for most of the project work means construction can now proceed as scheduled. Groundbreaking is set for next month, with the project expected to take about a year to complete. The city anticipates a grand opening in late fall 2025.
In other business, the council announced a free back-to-school event coming to the community this week. Washington County is hosting its second annual Back-to-School event on August 22nd at Walton Park, offering Oakdale families school supplies, backpacks, haircuts, and vaccinations at no cost. The event is supported by Washington County and various local vendors.
The council also recognized the 2024 Acorn Award winners, which honor outstanding residential gardens and landscaping throughout the city. Council members visited the award-winning properties to acknowledge both the community members who nominated them and the gardeners who maintain them. "A big thank you to everyone that nominated the properties, as well as to the talented and passionate gardeners who put in so much time and effort to keep their spaces and our City beautiful," the council said in a statement.
