Marion County concurs with Woodburn to add about 237 acres to urban growth boundary for industrial land
Summary
After a public hearing the Marion County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 29 concurred with the City of Woodburn’s ordinance to expand its urban growth boundary by roughly 237 acres — an area the city has designated for industrial development to meet identified employment‑land needs.
The Marion County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 29 voted to concur with the City of Woodburn’s ordinance to expand the city’s urban growth boundary by about 237 acres for industrial uses.
The board’s concurrence follows the city’s completed economic opportunities analysis and buildable lands inventory, which the city says identified a deficit of employment land (approximately 370 acres total needed, including 272 acres for industrial use). City staff presented the analysis and said the area being added lies east of Interstate 5, near Butteville Road and north and south of Fall Road, and is currently unimproved farmland inside the city’s earlier urban reserve.
