As reported in the Sandy Post, experts have found several indicators that the real estate market in Clackamas County is on its way to a full recovery.

Our builder, Tom Liesy of TA Liesy Homes Northwest is continuing to build homes in Sleepy Hollow, a subdivision in Sandy that has seen a lot of success in recent years.

Yesterday, Monday October 11, The Oregon Business Development Commision informed Clackamas County officials that the state has approved the County’s plan to create “strategic investment zones,” which will offer 15-year tax abatements for large companies that establish headquarters within county lines. Clackamas County is comprised of many growing cities within the umbrella of McDonald Group real estate areas, including West Linn, Welches, Tualatin, Estacada, Gladstone, Government Camp, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Sandy, the villages of the Mt. Hood corridor (Mt. Hood Area Real Estate Guide), and the city of Clackamas. Businesses that choose to relocate to Clackamas County will find sweeping benefits on Clackamas real estate within these investment zones that are slated to cover over 900 acres of potential new construction and redevelopment. In exchange of these large-scale tax benefits, companies will give back to the county through the creation of new jobs, donations to community service, and the establishment of Clackamas County as a strong player in the national manufacturing and trade stage.

Sandy, Oregon has joined with other cities nationwide in becoming part of the “Main Street Program”; a program designed to promote, organize & design a city’s main street area into a flourishing attraction that benefits businesses, locals, communities & of course property value! I first heard of the program when I recently attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting for Mt. Hood. The Villages of Mt. Hood are looking into participating in the program as well. I was excited to hear that the beautiful stretch of 26 I drive to get to Tyrolean Meadows in Government Camp may one day highlighted with unique new small shops & restaurants in between the beautiful stretches of wilderness.
