eighth & Boardman redevelopment 

Redevelopmentenvision 8th phase 1 site plan

The proposed plans for Eighth and Boardman Redevelopment are to be constructed in two phases. The proposed first phase will include a 24,000 square-foot, three-story building with retail/commercial uses at street level and about 12 residential units.  The proposed second phase will include a 36,000 square-foot, three-story building, with retail/commercial at street level and about 18 residential units. The proposed project includes two north-south pedestrian access nodes between Eighth Street and the Boardman River, a canoe/kayak launch, and an easement for extension of the City Riverwalk system.

The proposed plan is anticipated to include over $10 million of investment in a strategically located property that is the focal point at the center of the community’s effort to revitalize the Eighth Street corridor. The proposed redevelopment of the property will provide a new gateway to the Boardman River at this critical employment node, allowing workers and recreationalist to enjoy easy viewing and access to the river. The proposed redevelopment will provide jobs, increase tax base, stimulate additional private and public investment, facilitate the community’s redevelopment goals for the Eighth Street corridor, open up access to the Boardman River, and provide much needed affordable housing at workforce rates in an important downtown location.
