Monday A Big Day For Wilsonville City Council

While there are many residents of Wilsonville who remember when the area now known as Villebois was the Dammasch State Hospital, a mental institution, there are many more who probably have no idea about the site's past.

Even though it was a mental institution for more than 30 years - from 1961 until 1995 when it was demolished - it was a different Wilsonville then.

Now, in large part because of the development of the area that followed, a large portion of Wilsonville's population didn't even arrive until after construction on the 500-acre community began in 2004.

While much of the community is inside the city limits, Wilsonville has been slowly annexing the rest - an acre here, 22 acres there, over the years.

Monday's City Council meeting will involve the second reading and approval of the final acre.

It will eventually be a part of a 63 home development in the neighborhood.
