On the local government front, the city of Portland is preparing to offer $7 million in incentives to convert vacant office space into multifamily housing, aiming to address both downtown vacancy rates and housing shortages. Meanwhile, Hood River County is seeking major funding for courthouse replacement and administrative upgrades, planning for construction that will improve public safety and disaster resiliency over the next several years.
Business activity in Central Oregon has seen a boost with the launch of the Regional Business Alliance, a collaboration uniting local chambers and economic development agencies to advocate for pro-business policies, investment in infrastructure, and support for private employers across Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties, as highlighted by Cascade Business News. In Bend, developers and the state are pushing forward with large-scale housing projects like Caldera Ranch, which will bring over 700 homes, open spaces, and commercial amenities, with a significant portion set aside for affordable units as authorized by recent legislative actions.
Labor market news remains mixed, largely due to a missing federal jobs report that left the Oregon Employment Department and businesses unable to access reliable data on job growth or unemployment trends. Small business advocates are pressing the legislature to raise the Corporate Activity Tax exemption and reinstate hiring and retention bonuses, measures that would relieve pressure on local employers challenged by inflation and high costs, according to NFIB.
In education, Oregon City School District has initiated new field projects and budget adjustments under its Phase 3 bond, aiming to improve athletic facilities and adapt to evolving budget realities. Infrastructure priorities across the state were underscored in the newly ranked CEDS report, listing wastewater, broadband, and vital transportation improvements as catalysts for business growth and regional resilience. The Oregon-Multifamily Energy Program recently allocated over $1.2 million to 11 projects supporting affordable and energy-efficient housing, including units for seniors and residents with low incomes in Portland and Beaverton.
Recent weather coverage mentioned damage from a storm that knocked out power in parts of the state, but there have been no reports of severe or lasting impact. Public safety continues to be addressed through community planning, with new managed camps and emergency operations facilities under review or construction, such as the Ken Jernstedt Airfield in Hood River and projects in Redmond.
Looking ahead, listeners can expect more updates on the National Guard legal fight, progress on the Bend and Hood River infrastructure projects, and continued debate in the legislature over business tax reform and ballot measures. With public hearings on election law scheduled next month and more housing initiatives rolling out, Oregon’s political landscape and community priorities will remain dynamic.
