Location: 5655 Ulali Drive NE, Keizer
Description: A new development is coming near Keizer Station between Chick-fil-A and the water tower.
Last spring, Keizer City Council unanimously approved plans for the Keizer Station Master Plan Amendment for Area D — the southern portion of the land co-owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.
At an April 2023 council meeting, tribal leadership said the development would bring new businesses and jobs to the area.
The site is set to include retail, services, restaurants and a hotel.
“We are very excited about the project,” said Siletz Chairman Delores Pigsley. “We are very committed to what we are doing.”
Once a vacant swath of land on the south side of Chemawa Road, the site saw major development in recent years. A 7-Eleven fueling station and convenience store opened in 2022 along with the first Salem-Keizer area Chick-fil-A.
In the meeting, some councilors expressed concerns over traffic in the development but said they were excited by the economic boon it would bring.
