Oct 13, 2026

Clackamas County reported ongoing Sunrise Corridor (Highway 212) work: a $24 million federal grant application was not funded, staff are advancing a $12.5 million Metro regional flex funds intergovernmental agreement for updated environmental work, and county and Happy Valley funds will be leveraged for future grant applications.
