In 2006 the Portland Development Commission (now [https://prosperportland.us/ Prosper Portland]) put forth a call for proposals for redevelopment of the USAR Center site, opening the investigation of reuse opportunities. In 2008, Portland City Council proposed to convert the site into affordable housing. This use received uneven support from the Multnomah Neighborhood Association, and was ultimately rejected due to a lack of City funding. | In 2006 the Portland Development Commission (now [https://prosperportland.us/ Prosper Portland]) put forth a call for proposals for redevelopment of the USAR Center site, opening the investigation of reuse opportunities.

In January of 2011, the City decided that the site would be an opportune location for a “westside emergency response center”. This direction was confirmed in May through the adoption by City Council of [https://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/4259792/ Resolution No. 36863], which noted Multnomah Neighborhood Association’s approval of this new direction. | |||
In August of 2011, the City submitted an application proposal to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the organization responsible for the surplus process. The application authors were the Portland Bureau of Transportation, the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management, and the Portland Water Bureau. This application was approved by FEMA as noted in a letter dated October 19, 2011, which recommended that the transfer language require the property to be used in perpetuity as an emergency management response facility, or revert back to the Federal government. | In August of 2011, the City submitted an application proposal to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the organization responsible for the surplus process.
