On March 2, 2020, City Council held their first work session since October 21 (read recap) to discuss actions on the Equitable Housing Strategic Plan (starts on page 42 of 174). Work sessions are important because they are where options are determined for the public hearings and vote.
My main takeaway from this work session Council is still searching for what equity needs they want to address and will take their time to finalize the Equitable Housing Strategic Plan.
What actions should Wilsonville’s government take to address housing equity?
Speak up now before it is too late! City Council held a work session on October 21 to discuss actions on the Equitable Housing Strategic Plan (starting on page 8). Work sessions are important because they narrow the options brought before Council in the regular session public hearing. Get caught up by reading a quick recap of the meeting below or start with coverage of previous task force meetings (one and two). Then, go to the Act page and in two clicks, you can email City Council and Planning Commission with your thoughts today!
