BUSINESS ADVOCACY
TIGARD CHAMBER BUSINESS ADVOCACY AND POLITICAL ACTION
A very important focus of the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce is advocating for our business community with government on a variety of levels. We are well known as the go to voice of business in Tigard, King City, and the surrounding areas. We leverage the voices of businesses, representing the nearly 3,400 businesses located in the Tigard Area, spanning a wide variety of industries and employing around 45,000 people from the surrounding region.
The Tigard Chamber focuses its advocacy efforts on key issues that impact our local economy and quality of life, including business climate, workforce housing, economic development, transportation, childcare, and workforce development. We work to ensure the voice of business is heard in local, regional, and statewide decision-making and that community problems and business problems are addressed from our leaders.
We are guided by the following objectives:
• Champion a strong local economy by advocating for policies that support business growth and sustainability.
• Promote workforce readiness and development to ensure businesses have access to skilled talent.
• Support affordable and accessible workforce housing to retain and attract employees.
• Foster a vibrant and connected community through strategic partnerships and civic engagement.
• Amplify the voice of business in local and regional decision-making.
Our Staff and Board of Directors do this work with the help of the Government Affairs & Public Policy Committee (GAPP) and our Candidate Endorsement Committee (CEC).
Government Affairs & Public Policy (GAPP)
The Tigard Chamber’s Government Affairs & Public Policy (GAPP) Committee serves as the advocacy arm of the Chamber, monitoring legislation, engaging with local and regional officials, and advancing policies that support a strong business climate. It champions issues like workforce housing, transportation, and economic development, and also leads the Chamber’s candidate endorsement process to ensure elected leaders align with business priorities. They are local business leaders who evaluate key policy and community issues, providing recommendations to the Board of Directors on where Chamber staff should focus their advocacy and engagement efforts.

CEO MEGAN DE SALVO WITH CITY OF TIGARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TEAM
The Tigard Police Commercial Crimes Unit is the only one of its kind in Oregon, and perhaps on the entire West Coast. Nationally recognized for their expertise in investigating commercial business crimes, CCU detectives follow up on a range of crimes affecting the Tigard business community. This may include organized retail theft, embezzlement, burglary, robbery, and other types of crime. Many of these cases can take months to investigate and often involve coordination with other law enforcement agencies, not only in Oregon but also across state lines. Uniquely funded through business license fees, the detectives regularly meet with business leaders and Tigard Chamber of Commerce members to present crime prevention strategies, discuss local concerns, and address questions. On average, the three detectives and one sergeant in the Commercial Crimes Unit are assigned roughly 77 cases every year. Thanks to their dedication, many of these cases are resolved with arrests and prosecution.
CCU detectives participate in the Northwest Fraud Investigators Association, the Metro Area Fraud Investigator Association and helped establish the Oregon Retail Crime Association Network.

DOING BUSINESS IN TIGARD
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
What is Workforce Development and Why are We Doing It?
Workforce development encompasses employment initiatives aimed at equipping workers with the skills they need for job and career advancement, whether they are just entering the workforce or are already employed.
To ensure a vibrant future economy, it is crucial for businesses to partner with the education system. Business professionals from various industries can help students graduate from high school fully prepared to enter college or other post-secondary career training programs, setting them on the path to fulfilling careers.
Building partnerships between businesses, communities and schools aims to give students access to the education and hands-on training they need to pursue high-skill, high-wage careers that align with their interests. In today’s changing job market, a four-year degree is no longer the only pathway to a successful and rewarding career. Many trades now integrate cutting-edge technology, are in high demand, and continue to expand as new opportunities arise.
Operating under the brand #WorkReady, the Tigard-Tualatin School District, the Tigard Chamber of Commerce, and the Tualatin Chamber of Commerce are collaborating to bring businesses to the table for meaningful career and work exploration experiences for students in grades 8-12. Typical experiences include or will include:
• STEM Competitions for 6th graders
• Career Experience Days for 8th graders
• Career Exploration
• Job Shadowing
• Mentoring
• Internships
• Job Fairs and more!
The goal is to expose, educate, and guide our future workforce about the wide variety of career and job opportunities available. Over time, this initiative will benefit businesses by providing them with employees who possess the right skill sets and solidify that young adults can thrive in Tigard, even if they choose to leave the area and come back. Jacob Fuhrer, Public Affairs Officer for Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, has seen firsthand how powerful the program can be, “With demand for emergency services continuing to grow, we are always looking for ways to increase
the number of people considering a career in fire service. The WorkReady program has allowed us to engage with student populations we otherwise would not have likely reached. In 2023, students came to our Logistics facility in Tualatin to learn about maintenance of our fleet of emergency apparatus, laying the groundwork for a future career. We appreciate WorkReady's focus on leveraging partnerships so that all students can reach their full potential."
To further students' ability to advance in their careers, the Tigard Chamber offers a competitive scholarship fund for high school seniors. Scholarships can be used for pursuing a four-year degree, community college, trade school, vocational school, or apprenticeship programs. We are proud to announce that we have raised onwards of $10,000 for scholarships and hope to continue to grow the fund. Typically, we award several $1,000 scholarships, and our goal is to expand our annual fund to even greater heights.

Welcome to an amazing community that invests in and draws strength from its thriving school system. As superintendent of the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J (TTSD), it is my honor to lead a team of more than 1,500 employees dedicated to creating opportunities for this community’s young people.
TTSD is a pioneer in listening to our students to help guide our work. It was one of the first Oregon districts to establish a place for student representatives to the School Board. We are proud of our record of preparing students for college and careers, and are always striving to improve.
Our schools include programs on career and technical education (CTE) and advanced college prep, including an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM).
The District is a proud member of the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce. Through the local Chambers’ WorkReady program, business partnerships give students essential opportunities to learn skills and be
ready to obtain jobs at graduation. I hope that, like me, you hold a firm hope in the power of public education to transform lives and create a better future. I’m glad to be in this role and look forward to the years to come.

AND ENGINEERING
TIGARD HIGH STUDENTS PUT CUTTING-EDGE CTE TOOLS TO WORK
Engineering students at Tigard High School (THS) are making their first projects on advanced equipment secured through a state grant.
A $250,000 CTE revitalization grant from the Oregon Department of Education helped purchase the cutting-edge tools, including a CNC milling machine and a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Engineering teacher Thomas Woodward, who applied for the grant, said “these two pieces of equipment have radically changed my curriculum.”
His capstone class is now able to operate like a realistic business simulation. The students are responsible for emailing customers, generating quotes, designing parts, manufacturing parts and inspecting the parts before they are shipped to customers. So far, the capstone class has successfully made products for the custodial staff, building maintenance staff, and other teachers.
Woodward is also collaborating with local industry and hopes to have a few companies as customers soon. Businesses interested in having the THS Production Lab make a part can email Woodward at: twoodward@ttsd.k12.or.us

Community engagement remains central to achieving Tigard’s vision.

In addition, the Committee for Community Engagement, a 15-member volunteer group, advises the City Council and staff on best practices to strengthen engagement and build community connections.
As Tigard grows, the focus remains on enhancing quality of life by investing in infrastructure, parks, and public spaces that encourage active lifestyles and foster social connections. Neighborhood development follows a sustainable and responsible approach, preserving the unique character of each area while addressing the needs of both current and future residents.

Explore events happening across the city, take part in programs offered by the Tigard Public Library and Parks and Recreation Department, or volunteer your time to help make a difference. Your involvement helps make Tigard an even better place to live, work, and play.
PUBLIC SAFETY
The Tigard Police Department protects and serves all who live, work and play in Tigard. As a
progressive and professional organization, the department values transparency in all aspects of policing. Our Tigard community showed overwhelming support for renewing the Public Safety Levy, which provides funding for additional police officers and support staff to better serve Tigard’s growing population, as well as advanced training in crisis intervention and de-escalation for every officer.
In addition to the men and women in patrol who respond to police calls, TPD also has detectives focused on Criminal Investigations (the most serious crimes against people) and Commercial Crimes (crimes primarily affecting the business community), K-9 teams, School Resource Officers, a drone team, Traffic Safety Unit, and support staff in crime analysis, property & evidence, records management, public information and community engagement.
In 2024, Tigard Police responded to 40,026 calls for service throughout the city, with only about 1/10th of 1% resulting in a force response.

Please call 911 to report crimes in progress or threats to life/safety.

COMMUNITY & VISITORS GUIDE
fostered prosperity.”
Tigard (pronounced TY-gerd) is a vibrant Washington County city in the lower Willamette Valley. This region was originally inhabited by the Atfalati Kalapuya Native Americans, who were part of the larger Kalapuya people. In the 19th century, settlers began to arrive in the area via the Oregon Trail, taking advantage of the land’s agricultural potential. The city is named after Wilson M. Tigard, a pioneer from Arkansas who arrived in 1852. Initially known as Butte and East Butte, the area was settled by people from various European backgrounds, including Germany, Prussia, Switzerland, England, and Denmark.
According to Barbara Bennett Peterson’s Images of America: Tigard, “East Butte became a cosmopolitan blend of numerous European languages, which developed community spirit and
Wilson Tigard was not the first pioneer in the area, but he played a significant role by helping establish the community’s first school. The area gained a focal point when Wilson’s son, Charles Tigard, opened a general store in 1884 at the intersection of what is now Pacific Highway and Gaarde/ McDonald Street. In 1886, Charles also established the area’s first post office, naming it Tigardville in honor of his family. This location became the commercial center of the community.
The Oregon Electric Railway’s Tigard station opened in 1908, connecting Tigard with Portland, Salem, and Eugene. To differentiate it from Wilsonville, the railway named the stop Tigard, which spurred commercial development and shifted the commercial center to what is now Main Street.
Cultural influences from Chinese immigrants, Japanese farmers, and Latinx migrants significantly shaped Tigard’s agricultural and commercial growth. Chinese immigrants helped connect the region by rail and cleared farmland,
Japanese farmers tilled the soil, and Latinx migrants contributed to the harvest. Post-World War II, Tigard evolved from a farming community to a more urbanized area. The construction of Oregon Highway 99W and Interstate 5 in the 1950s and 1960s facilitated this transformation by increasing accessibility and population growth. Incorporated on September 11, 1961, Tigard became an official city over a century after the first settlers arrived. The city’s population and geographic size more than doubled within ten years of incorporation.
By 2021, the population exceeded 50,000, with over 3,300 businesses. Despite its growth, Tigard retains historical charm with its historic homes and windmills. For more information, visit the Local History Room at Tigard Public Library.
Tigard, celebrating over 60 years of incorporation, is one of Oregon’s newer cities. To explore the diverse cultures that have influenced Tigard and the Tualatin Valley, visit the Tigard Heritage Trail, which stretches between Main Street and Tiedeman Avenue.
Agriculture, rail, and business have significantly shaped Tigard’s history, and this legacy continues to inform our community’s vision for the future. Local government, school leaders, citizen groups, businesses, and individuals are actively working to build on the city’s strengths as it advances further into the 21st century.
Continuing the tradition of multiculturalism established by early settlers, Tigard welcomes residents with a multitude of backgrounds. Our school district
serves over 12,000 students who speak more than 80 languages. As these students enter the workforce and contribute to our community, Tigard’s cultural diversity is expected to continue growing.
With a diverse economy, strong educational institutions, and excellent parks and recreation facilities, Tigard is considered one of the most livable cities in Oregon.
Today over 57,000 residents call Tigard home, making it the 12th-largest city in the state. Since its incorporation in 1961, Tigard has grown into a desirable
and affordable community within the Portland Metro Area, with a median household income of over $105,000. It plays a vital role in the vibrant west side of the Portland region. Residents enjoy 16 miles of paved trails and nearly 550 acres of parks and open spaces, catering to sports teams, active seniors, and families alike. Tigard is also home to popular farmers markets, offering fresh, local produce from May through October. The city provides a variety of public transportation options to nearby Portland, Beaverton, and Hillsboro.

DRIVING GROWTH IN TIGARD: TIF DISTRICTS & THE ENTERPRISE ZONE
Tigard is shaping its future through investment and strategic partnerships that support local businesses, enhance livability, and attract high-quality development. Two critical tools for this work are Tigard’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts and its Enterprise Zone (E-Zone). These initiatives are creating economic momentum, fostering redevelopment, supporting infrastructure improvements, and opening new doors for businesses.
DOWNTOWN TIGARD TIF DISTRICT: INVESTING IN A VIBRANT CORE
Since its establishment in 2006, the Downtown Tigard TIF District has helped transform Tigard’s city center into a more connected, walkable, and dynamic area. With over $50 million in planned and completed investments, the district supports infrastructure, mixed-use development, affordable housing, and small business growth.
Key Accomplishments:
• The redevelopment of Main Street and the Tigard Street Heritage Trail, which has become a cultural and recreational hub.
• Support for catalytic projects like the attainable housing complex and the new Universal Plaza adjacent to the transit center.
• Façade improvement grants and tenant support for small businesses
What’s Next?
Looking ahead, the district will focus on supporting equitable development, expanding public gathering spaces, and increasing accessibility to the Downtown transit center. At the Tigard Chamber we partner with the City of Tigard and the Tigard Downtown Alliance to promote Downtown and plan its development.
TIGARD TRIANGLE TIF DISTRICT: BUILDING A MIXEDUSE INNOVATION ZONE
Created in 2017, the Tigard Triangle TIF District targets an underutilized area with high potential bounded by I-5, Highway 217, and 99W. The district is envisioned as a high-density, walkable, and transit-connected urban center.
Key Initiatives Underway:
• Street grid realignment and infrastructure upgrades to support future commercial and residential development.
• Funding support for affordable and market-rate housing
• Improved pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, connecting residents to parks, transit, and commercial zones.
The Triangle is poised to become a model for smart, equitable, and sustainable urban development with incentives and infrastructure working in harmony to welcome next-generation businesses and residents.

• Minuteman Press of Tigard
• Pinnacle Wellness Center
TIGARD ENTERPRISE ZONE: A STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE FOR BUSINESSES
Tigard's Enterprise Zone, administered in partnership with Business Oregon, offers valuable tax incentives for eligible businesses making new investments in buildings, equipment, and job creation. This tool helps Tigard attract traded-sector industries such as manufacturing, technology, and logistics that bring high-wage jobs to the region.
Benefits of the Enterprise Zone:
• Up to 5 years of property tax abatement on qualified capital improvements.
• Streamlined application and review process through the City of Tigard’s economic development team.
• Additional benefits for businesses that commit to communityfocused goals such as higher wage levels, local hiring, or sustainability practices.
Recent Success Stories:
Several local manufacturers and logistics firms have utilized the Enterprise Zone to expand operations, adding jobs and modernizing facilities all while reinvesting in the local economy.
