Portland : Downtown target area housing implementation strategy (2007)

Abstract

In June 2001, PDC adopted the Downtown Target Area Housing Implementation Strategy, which established housing goals and plans for the period July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2006. The Downtown Target Area is defined as the area south of Burnside and bounded by I- 405 and includes portions of several Urban Renewal Areas. At the time the Strategy was adopted it was expected the Downtown Waterfront and South Park Blocks URAs would expire, reach their maximum indebtedness or reach their debt capacity by June 2006. Therefore, the Strategy was intended to set forth goals in the Downtown Target Area for the remaining life of these two districts. This is the final report on the progress made by the City and private developers towards implementing the objectives of the Strategy.
