The Resource Center, located in Suite 220 in the Academy Building close to downtown Dallas, houses 10 diverse governmental and community agencies that serve those in poverty - all in one area. Other parts of the building contain public health, mental health, and other programs.
UPDATE - On August 24, 2002, Polk County Marine Patrol deputies located the body of a male in the Willamette River about two miles north of Wallace Marine Park. Cause of death was determined to be by drowning by the Oregon State Medical Examiner during an autopsy. Fingerprints were taken but no results were found based on searches at the time. Periodic searches were made in following years with no results. DNA testing was not possible as no sample was taken during autopsy, as was typical in 2002.
