2020-21: Includes rework of zoning along the US 101/US 20 corridors to complement desired street improvements identified in the TSP. May include provisions to support additional density and mixed-use live work arrangements. Incentives to include development of an urban renewal funded building facade improvement program. Concept vetted with ODOT/DLCD staff, who indicated that project would be a good fit for TGM grant funding. Pre-app held in March but grant application was not filed due to pandemic related delays to the TSP update. 2021-22: Grant application to fund this work was submitted in June of 2021 and was approved in October. Scope of work is being developed for IGA and consulting contract. IGA to be presented to Council before the end of 2021. Consultant to be under contract by March of 2022. 2022-23: Consultant RFP prepared and issued. Process administered by ODOT. Responder proposals reviewed, scored, and preferred consultant team selected 11/30/22. Negotiating contract.2023-24: Awaiting funding IGA from ODOT. It has been in the states procurement process since fall of 2023. The scope of work developed by the consultant envisions an 18 month process. The schedule will need to be rebuilt as a result of the delay.
While we might be able to shorten the timeline by a couple of months, it is likely that the project will extend into fall of 2025 assuming work can start the spring of 2024. Advisory committee will be finalized once the funding IGA is received. Project outcomes should be defined enough that they can inform FY 25-26 budget and goal setting. |
