Background:
Aging tide gates and associated drainage infrastructure is a growing challenge in Oregon as much of this infrastructure has exceeded its design life and is at risk of failure. To protect communities and key infrastructure, grant and loan funding is available for the repair and replacement of tide gates, culverts, and associated drainage system infrastructure.
Actions:
Business Oregon has funding available for tide gate project planning and construction. Planning project awards are intended to result in shovel-ready projects with all permitting/regulatory, engineering, landowner coordination, and feasibility documentation completed through the study scope. Additionally, tide gate construction projects that demonstrate shovel-readiness may be awarded funding.
Progress and Next Steps:
Program details, including administrative rules and funding availability, can be found at Business Oregon’s Tide Gate website.
