BPA Greenspace

Project Description:
The City will acquire approximately 28 acres for a net cost of $290,000 around the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) right-of-way (ROW). The project will develop the BPA ROW into usable space for public use. The project will include walking paths, sidewalks, grass areas, and public restrooms. Project will be funded by the Central Urban Renewal Area (CURA).
 

Project Justification:
The City of Boardman is dissected by the BPA ROW. This space is generally unusable as allowed uses around the ROW are minimal. Constructing greenspaces around the ROW are an allowed use of the space. The greenspace will beautify the area and bring recreation, both providing benefit to the community.
