Capital Projects

The Rockwood-West Gresham Renewal Plan calls for all capital projects within the Urban Renewal Area to be included in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Following review by the Gresham Redevelopment Commission Advisory Committee and the City's Planning Commission, each year in June the Gresham Redevelopment Commission recommends a five-year Capital Improvement Plan to Gresham City Council for adoption.

How Urban Renewal Projects are Prioritized

Projects prioritized for funding are based on several criteria:

• grant requirements
• development activity
• other city projects
• community input

Projects are also prioritized based on their potential to increase assessed property values within the Urban Renewal Area through new development, which is key to the financial health of the 20-year urban renewal program.

Priority projects are identified for funding in the five-year program.  Other projects are placed on the unfunded list until funding is identified.
