Hwy 11-Hwy 30 Connector Road

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.

Why It's Needed
