qualifications from experienced development teams interested in
purchasing and developing a 20,000 square foot site owned by
PDC at the corner of NE Grand Ave. and NE Holladay St., in the
Oregon Convention Center Urban Renewal Area.
Goals for the Property, known as Block 45, include development of
a medium to high density residential project that:
(1)
Activates the site with a 24/7 use;
(2)
Achieves high density home ownership;
(3)
Achieves a mix of housing unit sizes and sales prices;
(4)
Activates the street through ground floor commercial uses;
how to restructure health care, our
economy and education.
Hill has fashioned his campaign
platform into an "Oregon Come
back Plan", detailing solutions for
a statew ide turnabout. He has
pledged to establish a rainy day
fund and raise the corporate mini
mum tax, which currently bottoms
at $10.
“C orporations aren ’t paying
their fair share of the tax burden,”
he said. "I want to balance that
system to fund schools.”
On education, Hill said he’d "do
whatever it takes to reduce class
sizes”.
He considers his two-term expe
rience as state treasurer a leading
advantage, and when speaking
about our economy he looks north
to Washington’s success, and be
yond to Southeast Asia.
“Som eofthe largest countries in
the world sit on the Pacific Rim,”
Hill said. "We should be out selling
the state in terms of international
trade.”
