Comprehensive Plan | City of Tigard i

An undertaking the size and scope of the City of Tigard’s 20-year Comprehensive Plan takes the immense creativity and hard work of so many individuals and groups. Thanks to all (past and present) who contributed.

O N T H E C O V E R :

Paul August won Tigard’s photo contest with this beautiful photo of the John F. Tigard House. The contest’s theme was “Tigard... A place to call home” and ran from the end of August to November 1, 2007. Entries were received from fourteen photographers, 40 photographs in total. Several of the entries can be found throughout the Comprehensive Plan.

The John Tigard house, a three room

1880 Carpenter Gothic Victorian, was entered in the National Register

of Historic Places in 1979. It now resides

at the corner of SW Canterbury Lane

and SW 103rd in Tigard.
