On August 17, 2020, the Newberg City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2020-2865, establishing the Newberg Urban Renewal Agency (NURA).

NURA is embedded in the Newberg Municipal Code and is a separate political entity from the City, governed by the Board of Commissioners, which is comprised of current city councilors with a Chair appointed each year by the Board. The NURA has its own bylaws and rules and is required to comply with Oregon Local Budget Law for urban renewal agencies.
