The gathering is part of the Tigard HOME program, also known as Housing, Opportunity, Mobility and Enterprise, a long-range planning project.
The discussion by the city’s community development staff will address topics such as bringing shops and services closer to where people live, offering options for how homes and properties can be used to accomplish that.
In addition, staff will talk about how simplifying rules pertaining to starting neighborhood businesses might look like. Creating safer and more connected walking routes will be discussed as well.
