Camas city officials have asked the state Department of Ecology to require cleanup at the Georgia-Pacific paper mill site extensive enough to make it safe for housing and other uses beyond heavy industry.

The Camas City Council passed a resolution Feb. 18 stating that city leaders “deeply value the role the G-P mill has played in the city’s history and recognize its continued significance as an economic driver,” but want to ensure the 661-acre downtown Camas site has a range of redevelopment possibilities should G-P ever decide to close the paper mill.
