The city of Wilsonville tracks many legislative proposals with the potential to impact the Portland metro region.
A bill opposed by the city of Wilsonville that would have allowed local governments to expand urban growth boundaries without consent from the Metro regional government to build affordable housing and other facilities failed to make it through the House chamber.
The bill received a public hearing in the housing committee, but then was sent to the rules committee without a passage recommendation, and subsequently languished. In its written testimony, the city argued that affordable housing at the edges of development where there aren t as many services like public transportation is problematic.
