The City of Milwaukie is expected to receive more than $2.25 million to complete the development of three neighborhood parks: Balfour Park, Bowman-Brae Park and Scott Park. The funding will add park amenities and equipment, while creating gathering spaces and increasing art.

The City of Milwaukie has declared a local state of emergency due to the ongoing extreme heat and high risk for wildfire, along with the Excessive Heat Warnings issued for the region by the National Weather Service.

City Council has selected Hamid Shibata Bennett as the 2020 Volunteer of the Year. Donating his time and talents for multiple organizations in the area, a difficult year filled with uncertainty didn’t diminish his passion to help the Milwaukie community—in fact, it motivated him to do even more.

Milwaukie is home to almost 22,000 people, each of whom has a unique identity that contributes to the tapestry of our community. Our community vision, adopted in 2017, describes a future which is entirely equitable, meaning that all people feel welcome, and no one faces disparities because of who they are. 

City Council adopted equity, inclusion, and justice as a goal in August 2020 in response to the national reckoning around race and policing and reaffirmed this commitment in April 2023.  

City Hall could potentially relocate a couple blocks to the north along Main Street to take advantage of a unique opportunity. In late April 2019, the city was offered the chance to purchase the property at 10501 SE Main St., currently owned by Advantis. After a 5-month process that included direction from City Council, staff review, broker negotiations and public meetings, council authorized a purchase agreement on Aug. 27. The city is now in the due diligence phase and anticipates closing on the property this winter.

Registration is now closed for the 2024-25 Milwaukie Leadership Academy. Please check back in September 2025 for the next registration period.

The city invites the community to participate in the 2024-25 Milwaukie Leadership Academy!
