Abstract
This economic opportunities analysis (EOA) projects that Silverton's industrial job base
could grow by approximately 470 jobs between 2006 and 2026. This growth will require
approximately 83 gross new acres to be added to the urban growth boundary (UGB) in
order to provide for a variety of parcel sizes and adequate inventory to maintain market
competitiveness. Most industrial job growth in Silverton will take place in small
businesses producing a wide range of products and services, including food processing,
furniture manufacturing, specialty manufacturing, and other categories. These
businesses will seek out sites typically less than five acres and in flexible buildings that
can accommodate a range of configurations. In addition to this core base of businesses,
Silverton could also attract large industrial employers needing sites of 20 acres or more,
capitalizing on the State's current shortage of large-acreage industrial sites. [From the document]
