Gresham City Council approves $380 million investment with urban renewal plan
At the Tuesday, September 2 Gresham City Council Meeting, Mayor Travis Stovall and City Council voted 5-0 to adopt the Gresham Downtown/Civic Urban Renewal Plan, committing approximately $381 million in public investments over the next 30 years.
The plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to invest in capital projects in a roughly 900-acre area encompassing the historic downtown and Civic neighborhoods. Projects include investments in parks, transportation safety, utilities, small business support, and multifamily housing.
"I couldn't be more excited about the positive momentum we have right now," said Gresham Mayor Travis Stovall. "This plan outlines a commitment to growth and prosperity; serving as a great reminder that Gresham is primed for greatness and open for business."
The plan adoption comes at an exciting time for Gresham, the fourth largest city in the state, with recent investment from popular companies such as Trader Joe's.
