Boardman’s Morning Buzz: Local Updates and What’s Happening in Our Community

Good morning, Boardman! As the sun rises over the Columbia River and the first shifts begin at the Port of Morrow, let’s dive into what’s happening in our corner of Eastern Oregon.

Local officials are reminding residents that the annual spring cleanup event is just two weeks away. The city-wide effort, a staple for many families, helps keep our neighborhoods and the riverfront pristine. Volunteers are still needed, especially for the Riverside Park section, where winter winds often leave debris. Sign-up sheets are available at City Hall.

On the economic front, conversations continue about supporting our local agricultural and industrial base. With several major employers in the region, workforce development remains a key topic for the Morrow County Chamber of Commerce. A community forum is tentatively scheduled for next month to discuss skilled trade training opportunities for high school graduates.

Looking at the skies, today’s forecast promises a mix of sun and clouds with a high near 65 degrees—perfect weather for the Boardman High School baseball team’s home opener this afternoon. Let’s go Bruins!

Finally, a quick safety note from the Boardman Police Department: with increased construction and truck traffic on Highway 730 and I-84, drivers are urged to be extra cautious, especially during the morning and evening commutes. Let’s all look out for each other and have a productive and safe day, Boardman.
