City council division and community disapproval may have halted The Rivers project.
The developer of The Rivers project in Oregon City says a division in city council is the reason the project has stalled.
And with community disapproval also being cited as a factor, some question if the mall project had much support to begin with.
Mayor Alice Norris said she thinks a majority of people liked the idea and she hopes it will come back after the November election. She said since its suspension she’s received a “deluge” of responses upset about the suspension.
But if a council division did cause the project’s halt, some believe the suspension signifies the success of an election held more than a year ago.
