On Monday, March 2, 2026, beginning at 7 pm, the City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the Wilsonville Industrial Land Readiness (Citywide EOA & EDS), after which it may make the final decision.

Summary of Proposal:
The City of Wilsonville last completed an Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) in 2012. Since then, the City and the broader region have experienced significant economic changes driven by changes in the businesses located and growing in Wilsonville, evolving real estate market conditions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and shifts in national and state policies and priorities. One of Wilsonville’s most important opportunities for future economic growth is the continued industrial development of the Coffee Creek area and Basalt Creek area (which includes West Railroad) which together form a key part of the Portland region’s southern industrial land inventory.
This updated EOA aligns with Statewide Planning Goal 9 and the Goal 9 Administrative Rule (OAR 660-009). It provides an updated forecast of employment growth from 2026 to 2046, evaluates the City’s available commercial and industrial land supply, and assesses whether it is sufficient to meet expected demand. The report also identifies the City’s competitive advantages and target industries. Together, these findings form the technical foundation for the Economic Development Strategy (EDS), which offers recommendations to help Wilsonville maintain its position as a strong regional employment center.
This Economic Development Strategy (EDS) provides a 10-year roadmap for maintaining and expanding Wilsonville’s economic base. It builds on the findings of the Wilsonville Industrial Land Readiness (WILR) project. This work focused on industrial site readiness in Basalt Creek and included the 2025 Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA), which assessed land capacity, employment trends, and industry strengths. The Strategy also reflects input from local businesses, property owners, developers, and regional economic development partners. It aligns with other key initiatives, such as the Town Center Plan and Tourism Development Strategy, to create a coordinated framework for advancing the City’s economic goals.
