March 7, 2023 — At the March 6, 2023, meeting of the Wilsonville City Council, the Council granted annual property-tax exemptions to five multi-family facilities — Autumn Park Apartments, Charleston Apartments, Creekside Woods LP, Rain Garden LP and Wiedemann Park — that provide 365 residential units of affordable housing. These annual exemptions allow the facilities to provide lower-cost rent to families, seniors and individuals meeting income qualifications.
The Council directed the Parks and Recreation Department to pursue a grant from the Oregon State Parks Local Government Grant Program (LGGP) to fund a project to replace the 35-year-old restroom at Boones Ferry Park. The new restroom, which would include two single, non-gender specific restrooms, better serves the community and reduces maintenance costs.
