North Milwaukie Industrial / Innovation Area

In July 2017, Milwaukie City Council adopted the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) Plan.

The Vision of the NMIA Plan is:

The North Milwaukie Industrial Area capitalizes on the District's strategic location to attract innovative and entrepreneurial businesses to create a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment, manufacturing, makers and doers. The area supports existing and future businesses that provide family-wage jobs accessible by all modes of travel, respects the natural environment and incorporates sustainable design to reduce demand on citywide infrastructure.

Goals include:

Economic Development and Employment
Encourage a balance of employment-focused land uses, programs and resources that increase private capital investment and family-wage jobs.

Infrastructure
Identify infrastructure improvements necessary to meet existing and future planned development needs.

Land Use and Urban Design
Provide for a diverse array of land uses that create an active employment center and facilitate commercial and mixed-use development that supports the employment focus of the district.

Transportation and Mobility
Create a transportation system that provides safe and direct connections for bicycles and pedestrians while also providing for efficient truck access and circulation.

Community Supported Vision
Create opportunities for NMIA businesses, landowners, employees and the greater community to stay informed and involved in the ongoing development of the District.
