This project is to design and build a road that would connect Highway 11 to Highway 30, as well as:
- Replacing the SE 7th Booster Station with a new Goad Road Booster Pump Station
- Additional water lines to the property
This project opens 250 acres of land for workforce housing and commercial development to be served by a road and pressurized water system.
Funding:
This project is funded through the City's Water Fund capital outlay and State Revolving Funds through Business Oregon. Costs will also be incorporated into a Reimbursement District proposal, which would allow future development to reimburse some of the expenses. On Dec. 22, 2022, US Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced $1.5 million for the project through Congress’s fiscal year 2023 omnibus appropriations package.

The Oregon Legislature approved Senate Bill 1530, part of a package to invest $376 million in infrastructure and housing. Among the items in that bill is a one-time $4 million General Fund appropriation to support constructing this arterial road in Pendleton. The funding will be allocated to ODOT for distribution to the City, and it will cover a large portion of the cost to build the connector road.
