Metro gives Hillsboro $198,000 to plan new housing area

Metro awarded the City of Hillsboro a $198,000 grant to make a plan for part of the Rosa Reserve, rural land west of South Hillsboro. Hillsboro wants to ask Metro in 2027 to move the urban growth boundary (the line that limits where cities can grow) to add about 130 acres for homes. The plan would cover about 123 acres for houses and townhomes and 7 acres for apartments.

Decision: Passed, 5 to 0, with 2 members excused.
Who it affects: People and property owners in and near the Rosa Reserve area of Hillsboro, and people looking for housing in the region.
Money: $198,000 from Metro's construction excise tax, a tax on building projects that pays for planning grants.
Next: Planning is set to start in October 2026 and finish by March 2027. Hillsboro's council would adopt it in April 2027, and the plan must reach Metro by June 2027 for the 2027 growth boundary review.
