Milwaukie Redevelopment Area 5-Year Action Plan

The city would like to hear from you as we develop a 5-year Action Plan for Milwaukie’s Urban Renewal Area. The district, which allows for tax increment financing (TIF), was established in 2016. Although "tax" is in the name, your taxes will not be raised as a part of this process. Instead, the city will use the increase of assessed value within the zone to pay for projects and programs that facilitate economic development. Eligible projects can include construction or improvement of streets, utilities and other public facilities; assistance for rehabilitation or redevelopment of property; acquisition or redevelopment of property; acquisition and re-sale of property from willing sellers; and improvements to public spaces.

Here are the current opportunities to participate:

• Initial surveys concluded on Feb. 7. We asked about development that you would like to see downtown and how this funding should be used to help businesses. The results have been added to the 5-Year Action Plan Final Draft.
• Ask a question. Answers to your questions may be included in the FAQs. If not, submit any questions you have below. Staff will keep an eye on the page and answering questions as they are submitted.

Sign up for updates, so that you can share your thoughts as more details come available.

Thank you for participating!
