Morningside Neighborhood Association 1976 - 2021

In 2016 the City of Salem purchased 26-plus acres from Sustainable Fairview Associates...once was the Fairview Training Center. Included in the deal is to create a space where visitors can learn about the history of the site, etc.. A master plan was adopted in June, 2016. Park amenities include trails, sports fields, sports court all at once. In 2021 Morningside applied for a Salem Parks Improvement Fund Grant from the City of Salem. The SPIF Grant 2020-22 was awarded to Morningside to start with and build soft trails, signage, mutt-mits, etc. identified in the FV Phase One plan. The trials will be located within the tree grove. The total grant $5,889.73.​

COSTCO:

In 2018 it was announced that Costco would move to the Pac Trust site on Kuebler Rd and 27th. The site is currently under construction.

Reed Road and Strong Road SE:

There are several proposed developments that all plan to use Reed Road SE for their traffic. MNA has made it clear that Reed Road shall be widened and improved prior to any development. MNA will continue to object to this any other developments along Reed Road until the planning process is corrected to require the improvements to the road first.
