Portland officials said Friday that the city has temporarily paused construction on its $2 billion water filtration plant east of Gresham, marking another setback to the costly and controversial project as it faces a looming regulatory deadline.
Portland has temporarily halted construction on its $2 billion water treatment plant following a land use appeal loss. The city was ordered by the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) to re-evaluate its land use decisions after opponents argued that the project's environmental impact was not adequately assessed. The project, aimed at replacing the city's open-air reservoirs with a modern treatment facility, faced significant pushback regarding its potential effects on local ecosystems and water quality. The pause in construction will allow the city to address the concerns raised by LUBA, reassess the project's compliance with land use laws, and potentially modify the project's scope or location. This development has sparked a debate on balancing infrastructure needs with environmental conservation, with implications for future urban development projects in Oregon.
