Leveton Tax Increment District
In 1982 the City of Tualatin annexed a large area of previously unincorporated land to the west of the existing City limits. The purpose of the annexation was to better provide the level of infrastructure and services necessary to support appropriate industrial development.
The area annexed at that time was characterized by blighted conditions, underdevelopment, and faced a variety of physical and economic obstacles to its future use. Sanitary sewer and water services were generally unavailable, the arterial roads serving the area were below standard or non-existent, internal access roads were nonexistent, and several types of non-conforming and substandard land uses (notably, abandoned sand quarries) inhibited further development.
The area's assets, however, made further action desirable. On a regional scale, the location of the area is convenient to the Sunset and I-5 Corridors, and the nearby connection to I-205 provides access to Portland International Airport, and Clackamas and East Multnomah Counties. Within the area, the presence of a large (217 acre), relatively level site under single ownership presented a significant opportunity for the planned, campus-like industrial development which has been proven to be increasingly in demand. Finally, the area fronting upon Pacific Highway presented an opportunity to provide additional land for the general and light industrial development occurring in that corridor.
In view of this potential, the Leveton Tax Increment Plan and Report was adopted in 1985, and updated/amended eight times in a concerted effort to transform the area into a productive industrial district. The last major update was adopted in August 2021 adding 7.88 acres of right-away along Herman Road and funding the Herman Road Extension Project.
Detailed information about the Leveton District and the surrounding area is available in the Leveton Tax Increment District Profile.
The Leveton Tax Increment District Profile provides specific information that will be of interest to companies considering relocation to this area.
