City of Newberg spent several years completing various updates to Master Plans, creating the Riverfront Master Plan and the Downtown Improvement Plan to set the stage for an Urban Renewal Plan which is a key implementation tool by allowing for the use of tax increment financing, a funding source that is unique to urban renewal, to fund its projects.  On August 17, 2020, the Newberg City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2020-2865, establishing the Newberg Urban Renewal Agency (NURA).
