The city of Wilsonville tracks many legislative proposals with the potential to impact the Portland metro region.
A bill opposed by the city of Wilsonville that would have allowed local governments to expand urban growth boundaries without consent from the Metro regional government to build affordable housing and other facilities failed to make it through the House chamber.
The bill received a public hearing in the housing committee, but then was sent to the rules committee without a passage recommendation, and subsequently languished. In its written testimony, the city argued that affordable housing at the edges of development where there aren t as many services like public transportation is problematic.

The court rejected the city of Wilsonville s request to move the case to the Oregon Court of Appeals.
With a decision pending at the Oregon Court of Appeals regarding Aurora Airport planning, the Clackamas County Circuit Court determined where an essentially identical case will, at least initially, be litigated.
The court denied the city of Wilsonville s request to transfer the case to the Court of Appeals, approved the Oregon Department of Aviation s request to move it to Marion County and granted a motion by Aurora Airport Improvement Association (which includes airport business interests) to intervene, meaning they ll have standing to argue the case alongside the state.
