Abstract
In 2006, the City of Salem, Boise Cascade, and the Strategic Economic
Development Corporation (SEDCOR) invited the Urban Land Institute (ULI)
to convene an Advisory Services Program panel to evaluate development
opportunities for Boise Cascadeâ s river-front properties in downtown Salem. The
panel issued a report which presented a redevelopment â programâ â the type and
amount of residential, commercial public and parking development - for the area.
The program recommended a change in zoning and use of the site from industrial
to mixed use and an aggressive development program. It also recommended that
the City adopt an urban renewal plan to finance public improvements.
The City has directed staff to prepare a feasibility study for an urban renewal plan
for the Boise and areas nearby. This study consisted of the following tasks:
establish feasibility study area;
assess conditions of 'blight' required to establish rrban renewal area;
estimate the potential revenue capacity of urban renewal area;
estimate costs for likely urban renewal projects;
estimate impact of tax increment financing on overlapping taxing
districts;
prepare recommendations for proceeding. [From the Document]
