Get StartedThis Measure approves an extension of the Rockwood-West Gresham Renewal Plan from 2023 to 2029, allowing the City more time to utilize the money that was originally approved by the voters in 2003. The extension would not impose new taxes, nor raise existing taxes. The City estimates that approximately $37 million dollars will be available over the next six years to invest in new projects that will improve the quality of life for the community. Funds for the Rockwood-West Gresham Renewal Plan will support new projects such as: · Transportation improvements · Parks and Recreation · Access to quality housing options · Jobs. Projects funded will reflect the goals of the adopted 2003 plan and future community outreach will assist in prioritizing the projects. Funding comes from newly generated property taxes from new development and increased property values in the urban renewal area. Funding generated within the area must be spent on projects within the area. Urban Renewal is not a new tax.
Shall the City extend Rockwood-West Gresham Renewal Plan to 2029 and continue to fund transportation, housing, parks, and jobs?
