North Clackamas Revitalization Area

Year Formed: 2006

Area: Approximately 1,008 acres in unincorporated Clackamas County between Milwaukie and Happy Valley basically bounded by the Clackamas/Multnomah County line on the north, Milwaukie city limits on the west, Monroe Street on the south and 82nd Avenue/Interstate 205 on the east. (see map).

Purpose: To support the development of the North Clackamas area community, including the Overland Park neighborhood, as a safe, clean and affordable mixed use residential neighborhood that provides retail, economic, educational, transportation and recreational opportunities, and a sense of identity and place for its diverse citizenry.

Assessed Value: $461 million in 2010

Overview: The established neighborhoods in the NCRA are among the more affordable places to live in the County, but there are long-term infrastructure problems that need to be resolved. The plan includes projects in a number of areas to improve the livability of the area, including:

  • public utilities;
  • public parks and open spaces;
  • public buildings and facilities;
  • street, curb and sidewalk improvements;
  • streetscape and neighborhood beautification;
