The Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency has updated its incentive program for development in the downtown core. The revised program will now offer up to $300,000 per property in matching funds for eligible projects to use on interior upgrades, safety and code compliance, and mixed-use redevelopment. City of The Dalles Economic Development Officer Jacob Anderson says the maximum has gone up from $50,000. There are new incentives to support housing development downtown, and a streamlined approval process for smaller projects. Application information is available at thedalles.org.
