City Manager’s Report: Keep Supporting Hillsboro Businesses

Hillsboro community members stepped up to help local businesses when COVID-19 deeply impacted Hillsboro entrepreneurs.

Their livelihoods were on the line, and we recognized our role to support them.

Now, 2.5 years after the pandemic first disrupted our lives, Hillsboro restaurants, retail shops, and service providers still need all of us to shop and spend local.

As a City organization, we will continue to support Downtown Hillsboro, which endured the pandemic AND a devastating fire. From Tuesday Night Market to Saturday Market to La Strada dei Pastelli, the comeback continues. And more opportunities are coming soon with additional restaurants and housing.

Calle Diez in Focus

Downtown stretches well beyond our historic core area. It’s also 10th Avenue, which is also known as Calle Diez.

Calle Diez is an important cultural hub for Latino community members. It’s also where we are investing in our community’s future with:

  • New murals to enliven the corridor with artistic creativity
  • Sidewalk repairs to protect pedestrians
  • Preservation of trees and increased landscaping to maintain community connection to nature
  • New Police Bike Team patrols to increase safety
  • Seasonal Lighting to help brighten the winter months
  • Ongoing engagement with the community to keep prioritizing programs and projects that fit the community vision
The historic core and Calle Diez are part of Hillsboro’s historical and cultural identity. As we move forward, we’ll continue to support and honor the places and people who made Hillsboro special.
