Community Enhancement Grant

The Community Enhancement Grant Program (CEGP) supports a range of community projects, from improvements to wildlife and recreational areas to increased economic opportunities for local residents. The program derives its funding from an intergovernmental agreement between Oregon City and the regional government, Metro, and is generated by a $1 per ton surcharge collected at the Metro South Transfer Station on Washington Street.

The application period for the second round of the 2025-2026 Community Enhancement Grant is from June 30, 2025 at 12 p.m. to Aug 8, 2025 at 5 p.m.

If you have questions about the Community Enhancement Grant, contact James Graham, Economic Development Manager.
