COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information and Updates Community Business & Development Government Online Services Welcome to the URA Virtual Open House Welcome to the URA Virtual Open House! Purpose: The City is considering adopting a new urban renewal area (URA) to facilitate development and investment in the community, growing jobs and improving land values. We understand that many people do not understand what a URA is or does, so we have provided a host of resources for your to review. If you go to each “station” it is estimated that it will take approximately 25-30 minutes, however you can feel free to pick and choose which stations you want to go to. Station 1 Station 2 Station 3 Station 4 Station 5 Station 6 URA 101 URA on tax bill Map of proposed URA URA planned projects FAQ Formal Public Notice This video provides a brief explanation of what a URA is and why jurisdictions find it a helpful tool to fund important projects to improve economic development This video explains why urban renewal is on every property tax bill in the city even if you are not located in the urban renewal area. Spoiler: Just because it shows up on your tax bill it does not mean you are paying more in taxes for the URA This map shows the proposed properties and right of way to be included in the Urban Renewal Area.Please note that being included in the area does NOT mean that the City or URA have plans to develop or re-develop a specific property. Rather, the intent is to facilitate development of infrastructure to incentive development.To ensure adequate near and long term funding, it is typical to develop a URA with a combination of developed and undeveloped properties, therefore inclusion within the URA boundary does not mean the property is automatically envisioned to re-develop This document provides details on the projects envisioned to be funded by the URA over the 30 year life of the district This document answers questions that are frequently asked during the course of developing a new Urban Renewal Area. If the document does not answer your question, please feel free to email URA@sherwoodoregon.gov This document is a copy of the legally required public notice.
