ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN
Tigard's Economic Development Committee has established as its goal the
following, "Promote economic development for the good of the community". The
major objectives are to identify the advantages and barriers to development in
Tigard and to recommend changes needed to improve development opportunity.
Following from this, the Committee intends to develop an economic development
strategy.
During Fiscal Year 1984-85, the Committee will follow an action plan designed
to provide the base data needed to understand the needs of the community and
to assist companies interested in locating in Tigard. Individual analysis is
needed in each of the four target areas so that information on available land
is compiled in a format which is useable by government, real estate concerns,
property owners, and potential developers and users.
The following chart illustrates the planned activities of the Committee during
Fiscal year 1984-85. To accomplish the goals of the plan will require the
following:
o Designation of subcommittee leaders who will:
- Assist in preparing a special area plan for each of the four
areas.
1) Downtown
2) Tigard Triangle
3) Cascade Blvd.
4) 72nd Ave.
- Work with the ,Planning and Development Department to develop an
inventory of each of these areas before working on a city wide
inventory. The inventory would have the following elements:
a. Identification of property;
b. The size, shape, and limitations of the site;
C. The use of the land;
d. Identification of buildings on the site;
e. The name of the owner;
f. THe current zoning designation;
g. The assessed value;
h. The public services available to the site; i.e. sewer,
water, roads, parks, schools;
i. Any known interest on the part of the owner to sell or
lease the property;
J. Proximity to other similarly usable land.
