Support Gov Kotek’s Proposed 373-Acre Expansion

Westside Economic Alliance encourages all of our members to actively engage as Governor Kotek considers a 373-acre expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary in Hillsboro, OR. This authority to super-site a plot of land for expansion was granted to Govern Kotek by the passing of Senate Bill 4 in 2023. Here you will find a template letter written in support of the expansion.
