    Development Proposals for Three Targeted Sites in Salem, Oregon
    (University of Oregon, 2010) Braseth, Mark; Larco, Nico; Schlossberg, Marc
    Students in a combined Architecture and Planning class called City Growth/ City Design were asked to create development proposals for three sites located in urban renewal areas of Salem, Oregon, as part of the University of Oregon’s Sustainable City Year program. Students conducted research similar to due diligence activities a developer might undertake when evaluating a site for development. Students’ research identified appropriate uses, identified opportunities and constraints, analyzed current zoning and transportation infrastructure, and considered community needs. Findings and analysis were used to make informed proposals that offered realistic opportunities and, in some cases, pushed the boundaries of traditional development.

    (University of Oregon, 2010-06) Barnes, Emma; Braseth, Mark; Gonzalez, Kim; Hayes, Bryan
    This report presents the results of a focused analysis of selected target industries for the City of Salem. The purpose of this project is to support the city’s objective of fostering high wage job growth in Salem, provide market data on the target industries and recommend steps to better attract the target industries. The Community Planning Workshop (CPW) evaluated four industries in this analysis: food processing, metal manufacturing, biosciences, and renewable energy. The selected industries highlight Salem’s traditional economic base in agriculture and steel manufacturing and also look to emerging opportunities in the bioscience and renewable energy industries.
