Loss of data center causes Oregon to tighten its budget for next year
Now that the proposed data center has withdrawn plans to come to Oregon, city officials are preparing for budget hearings to find ways to raise revenue and cut expenses for next year. Officials for two years had expected that the data center, which was going to be located near Corduroy and Wynn roads, would bring in millions of dollars to city coffers. When voters on Nov. 3 passed a data center charter amendment that limited its size, the company withdrew its plans, causing some supporters to worry about its impact on the city’s budget. City Administrator Brody Walters is not currently too concerned about the financial condition of the city. In fact, there is a $3 million surplus this year. Expect cost cutting, though, for next year, when revenue is expected to be less than expenditures. Council will have to make the tough decisions at the budget hearings, the first expected this month. “Right now, we’ve reviewed the general fund budget, and found savings in the neighborhood of $1.3 million across all departments,” Mr. Walters said of the $32 million projected budget estimate for 2027. “These are not painful cuts. It’s trimming the fat.” In a Nov. 9 letter to

Editorial: Cuts will be coming in Oregon after vote
It will not be a merry Christmas for Oregon city employees, as significant job cuts are now the only way to plug a multimillion-dollar budget deficit following voters’ rejection of a billion-dollar data center project. Oregon City Council Finance Committee Chair Dennis Walendzak asked fellow council members to clear the first Saturday in December for a daylong meeting dedicated to balancing the city’s budget. Read more editorials Mr. Walendzak addressed the council at the end of Monday’s session, which had opened with resident comments mostly cheering the passage of the ballot initiative blocking the data center planned for city-owned land at Corduroy and Wynn roads. “Obviously, 60 percent of Oregon residents are pleased with the election outcome,” Mr. Walendzak noted, adding that because personnel and benefits make up 81 percent of the budget, balancing the books takes far more than cutting back on office supplies. Voters’ rejection of the ballot measure eliminated a projected $250 million revenue stream — derived from the property sale and a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement shared with the school district — forcing both the city and schools to operate with significantly fewer resources. During Monday’s meeting, supporters of the anti-data center charter amendment acknowledged the financial
