Tualatin Downtown Revitalization

In November 2022, the Tualatin Development Commissions (TDC) adopted the Core Opportunity Reinvestment Area (CORA) plan. This urban renewal area (URA) is comprised of 475 acres, generally bounded by Boones Ferry Road to the north and west, Tualatin-Sherwood Road to the south and Martinazzi Avenue to the east. The URA has a maximum indebtedness of $140 million. The plan includes a vision for the area, projects, and project funding for downtown, signaling the City’s commitment and support for downtown revitalization.

The following goals and priorities were identified in the planning process:

• Establish or create a common identity
• Enhance connectivity
• Ensure a collaborative approach
• Protect and promote the natural environment
• Foster mixed-use development
• Expand housing options

The Downtown is Poised for Redevelopment

The Tualatin community is anxious for new housing, retail and commercial options. Since the plan was adopted, the area continues to generate tax increment revenue for future projects. The goal of this process is to build on the great work already done for the Core Opportunity and Reinvestment Area Plan (CORA Plan) in 2022 and develop a community identity to put Tualatin’s downtown in the best possible position to encourage revitalization and redevelopment opportunities. Additionally, the City recently opened the new Veterans Plaza and completed its purchase of the last three acres of the six-acre riverfront park project. The riverfront park project can be one of many catalyst projects in the downtown area that can begin to generate interest, identity and redevelopment in the area.
