Yarrow, a new 900-acre mixed-use community on the east side of Madras, held a groundbreaking event yesterday afternoon at its future development site. City and county officials, representatives from community organizations, individuals from each of the Madras Land Development Company (MLDC) partners (Brooks Resources Corporation, Taylor Northwest and Eagle Crest, part of the Jeld-Wen family) and other stakeholders in the Yarrow project attended the ceremony.

“For more than a year, we have been anticipating the day when we could begin to realize our vision of a community of vibrant neighborhoods to complement Madras,” said Cameron Craig, project manager for Yarrow. “Until now, we have been in the long process of planning. Today we begin to build.”

Speakers from MLDC and the city expressed excitement about reaching this step in the development process, and gratitude to all of the partners that had helped bring Yarrow to this point. Using four gold shovels provided by the Madras Chamber of Commerce, Madras Mayor Frank Morton, Todd Taylor of MLDC, Yarrow project manager Cameron Craig and George Neilson of the Bean Foundation performed the ceremonial groundbreaking.
