Subject: NW Polymers

All – I attended a meeting yesterday with NW Polymers owner, Mark Shuholm, Lowell Forristall, Clackamas County Economic Development Staff and Mackenzie and Associates Staff members. NW Polymers wants to expand and also add space for incubator (some call them Maker spaces) businesses for a total expansion of 60,000 square feet over a two to three-year period. The NW Polymer expansion will add 30 jobs to the community. Possibly more jobs from the incubator structures. So, a few points:

• * This community needs non-residential development and additional jobs in order for us to completely turn the corner in the world of commerce and funding mechanisms. I will deny it if it gets out, but we do not need more residential development at this point.
• * The area we are talking about is the Four Corners Industrial Park on Commercial Parkway. And once again our fore fathers created a mess for us to figure out today with regard to infrastructure. And some weird agreements.
• * We (City) will not be the responsible party but we need to manage and guide this process effectively. This is good for our community.

Due to our current work load (especially Gerald’s) we need to be on top of things and ready to respond. We need to know exactly what we have and what needs to happen for expansion of our water, sewer, storm drainage, transportation, etc. But and this is a big one it cannot all fall on the Public Works Director. We need to dig out as-builts, base maps and everything that we have and provide it to Mackenzie:

Scott Moore smoore@mcknze.com

Gabrielle Frask gfrask@mcknze.com

We will all get together for a discussion next week. We need to make things happen and get things done.
