Portland
On the heels of news that the federal government approved a
$557 million expansion of Portland’s MAX light rail
system to Clackamas Town
Center, the mall announced plans for a major renovation.
The $115 million facelift will include a 20-screen movie
theater and village-style shops. With the expansions of both
the rail line and the urban growth boundary in Clackamas
County, thousands of new residents are projected to move to the
area. The mall overhaul is expected to be complete in 2007,
well ahead of the rail line, which will connect Clackamas Town
Center with the Gateway Transit Center.
