HBA Members Engage in Wilsonville’s Frog Pond Infrastructure Funding Negotiations

For the past several months, HBA and a group of about a half dozen members have been working closely with the City of Wilsonville’s engineering teams to address the critical funding gaps that exist to install the infrastructure necessary to develop key areas within the Frog Pond East and South area. In order to get residential development (that is, new homes) built in this recently approved expansion area, the city and developers are working in good-faith towards an plan that we hope will balance the mutual public responsibilities for what is developer-mandated and creditable, what are the city obligations, and how can Capital Improvement Project scopes and external funding sources be considered in order to turn prime, undeveloped land into desperately needed new housing. We will continue to update our membership as progress is made. If you would like to learn more about these ongoing discussions, please reach out to Preston Korst at prestonk@hbapdx.org.
