Portland Could Forego $63M for Parks, Other Capital Projects to Spur Homebuilding
The mayor’s proposal is created “to open systems in our pipeline and bring in financial investment for new tasks,” a city report noted.
A strategy sponsored by Mayor Keith Wilson and Gov. Tina Kotek to waive all real estate advancement charges to accelerate Portland’s homebuilding objectives could cost the city up to $63 million for parks, transportation, and other facilities over 3 years, according to brand-new city quotes. Portland acquired 818 brand-new market-rate housing systems last year, the least expensive number in a decade, according to a report included with the proposed ordinance online. That adds up to an estimated 2,559 brand-new market-rate housing systems for the period of the ordinance, the report mentioned.
