3. TCDA Budget Message-Marty Wine
• In 2017,voters approved the Tigard Triangle Urban renewal Plan,a 37 acre expansion to the
existing urban renewal district.
■ The primary funding source for the districts is tax increment financing,which funds the urban
renewal projects. When each district was formed, the assessed valuation of the district was
frozen. Property taxes collected on any growth in assessed value above the frozen base (tax
increment) go to the TCDA to fund projects within the district.
■ Accomplishments include the following:
o With EPA Brownsfields Cleanup grant program funding,the TCDA owned Main Street
at Fanno Creek site was cleaned up for redevelopment.
o The 165 unit Attwell Off Main mixed-use development was opened in May,2017.
o Three properties/businesses completed matching grant-funded building improvements,
to help strengthen downtown's walkable business district.

■ The new Tigard Triangle has its challenges,with stores, offices and dirt roads mixed together. It
will take a while for the increment to build up, so we are using this time to put together a
financial plan, develop an equitable development strategy and create early designs on prioritized
renewal projects,with the help of Metro grant. One of the initial expenditures is the
development assistance to support a new Community Partners for Affordable housing
apartment building in the district.
■ Upcoming projects include the construction of the Tigard Rotary Plaza, and we will continue to
make improvement program matching grants available to encourage new business investment in
the district.
