Lane County
By 1955, the total number of mills had dropped to 99 as smaller mills closed, but overall production increased as a number of mills became larger and more diversified. Production increased from just over three million board-feet in 1940 to about a billion and a half in 1955 (USFS 1957: 33-34).
Springfield
- By 1955, the total number of permits issued for that year was 473 with a value of more than $2,000,000.
- Although the total number of mills was dropping county-wide, the 1955 Springfield directory indicates the addition of a number of new timber-related operations, including the Hal Andrus, Armstrong, Clements, Cusstom, Diamond, Square-Deal, Swanson, Transit, and Walden lumber companies (Johnson 1955).
- The need for a new sewage plant was identified in 1941, but not realized until 1955 even though all new developments during this period were required to install sewer lines.
May
- After a successful campaign, McKenzie-Willamette Hospital construction began in 1954 and the doors were opened in May 1955.
Natron
Natron Mills, Inc. expanded again in 1955 when a new plywood plant was constructed (Springfield News 1954, 1955). A new medical center, with office space for five physicians and two dentists, opened near the hospital later in 1955 (Springfield News 1955).
