The Urban Renewal Agency meeting held by the City Council of Scappoose, Oregon, on November 18, 2024, focused on the effective use of funding for urban development projects. Key discussions included the evaluation of primary and secondary project preferences, as well as recommendations for ineligible projects.

During the meeting, a council member raised questions about recent applications for funding. It was noted that there is currently one application under review. This application pertains to a property near the highway, specifically around the pet store area. The property owner is addressing an ADA violation related to their parking lot. The council has been in communication with the property owner, providing guidance on the necessary steps to move forward with their application before it can be presented to the Economic Development Committee (EDC).

The meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with regulations while facilitating urban renewal initiatives. As the council continues to assess project applications, they aim to maximize the effectiveness of the funds allocated for urban development in Scappoose. Further updates on the application process and project recommendations are expected in future meetings.
