Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

10 provisions identified: 7 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Bonds to upgrade the Moda Center

The State Treasurer can finance Moda Center and plaza upgrades. Up to $200 million is available from bonds or certificates, plus up to $1.4 million for costs, within a shared cap. For the 2027–2029 biennium, up to $165 million is available, plus up to $1.2 million for costs, within a shared cap. Money goes to the Oregon Arena Fund. Issuance occurs only after the law’s listed prerequisites are met.

Large state borrowing for 2025–2027 projects

The state authorizes $2.501 billion in general obligation bonds for 2025–2027. It also authorizes $5.206 billion in revenue bonds ($2.304 billion direct and $2.902 billion pass‑through). It revises 2023–2025 general obligation bonds to $2.401 billion. DAS financing agreements rise to $33.0 million. This funds capital projects statewide and increases debt the state must repay over time.

New funding for community and business hubs

The state invests in community and small business spaces. $4.0 million upgrades the Native American Youth and Family Center. $1.75 million creates Casa Mariposa community resiliency space and a small business incubator. $11.5 million builds a Williams & Russell business hub.

More funding for local water and sewer

The state issues lottery bonds and sends the money to cities for water and sewer upgrades. Eugene gets $11 million for wastewater expansion. Other projects include $5 million for a new Silverton plant and $4.27 million for a new Chiloquin plant. Many other towns receive $1–$4 million for water lines, sewers, and treatment plants. These investments improve clean water and wastewater service.

Levee repairs and Coos Bay upgrades

Lottery bonds provide $20 million for levee repairs along the Columbia River from Sauvie Island to Troutdale. Another $20 million goes to deepen and widen the Coos Bay navigation channel and for related design, permits, and land needs. The Coos Bay Channel Fund includes these transfers and interest and is continuously appropriated to the Business Development Department to pay project and bond costs.

Help to clean up sites for jobs

The state funds cleanup and site‑readiness for jobs. $5.0 million goes to the Brownfields Redevelopment Fund and $5.0 million to the Oregon Brownfield Properties Revitalization Fund. $20.0 million goes to the Industrial Site Loan Fund to prepare land for industry.

New worker rules on university projects

Public university construction contracts of $200,000 or more must meet new labor rules. At least 15% of work hours in apprenticeable trades must be done by apprentices. Contractors must run outreach and retention plans for women, minority individuals, and veterans, aiming for 15% of hours. Contractors and covered subcontractors must provide health insurance and retirement benefits. Universities report each year by February 1 on hours and benefits.

Local street, airport, and fire station upgrades

$1.5 million upgrades Alpine Avenue in McMinnville. $1.35 million funds site work and terminal expansion at Salem’s McNary Field. $1.1 million helps the Central Oregon Coast Fire and Rescue District acquire and improve a fire station.

New Clackamas addiction treatment facility funding
