Updates from ODA
- Project Update: The OSA Seed Lab move has been completed successfully.
- Current Status: No delays are currently expected.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is consolidating laboratories and programs in a new state-owned facility in Wilsonville, Oregon. The North Valley Complex (NVC) is a state-of-the art facility that is an integral part of Oregon’s “One-State” approach, supporting cross-agency collaboration and resiliency. To that end, ODA will be joining staff from Oregon’s Occupational Safety and Health Division and State Police at the NVC facility. Questions? Please call Elizabeth Savory at 503.881.0889 or email Elizabeth.Savory@oda.oregon.gov.
