213 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JANUARY 2020 CANBY , OREGON of trucks traveling to and from the industrial park to bypass Highway 99E through Canby, altogether. The need for a new road keeps getting more intense as the Park continues to develop and add more users, the most recent being Caruso Produce, a family-owned company that sources fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the world and distributes them to local stores and vendors, and Stanton Furniture, a manufacturer of high quality sofas, sectionals, pull out couches, chairs, and recliners. In addition, Columbia Distributing, one of the largest beverage distributors in the west, will be moving into a new 530,000-sq.-ft. warehouse being built at the Park, consolidating the company’s three current Portland locations. “We just approved a new traffic signal that will help with the traffic congestion coming off of the industrial area,” reports McClure. “And we’ve got a process in place to hire a design engineering company that will lay out the rough path for that 99E connection to the industrial park.” As Canby continues to grow, it works diligently to maintain the charms and amenities that have made it an attractive place to live, work, and play for over a hundred years. Mayor Brian Hodson states, “We’ve strived to maintain our small community feeling as we’ve grown. You can come here to live and run your business, and we have the amenities that people want in terms of livability, walkability, and a great small town atmosphere.” No wonder Canby, Oregon is called “The Garden Spot.” Aerial of Columbia Distribution Center
