  5. Amber Glen The City of Hillsboro initiated concept planning to achieve higher levels of density close to major employers, provide high-quality amenities, support regional transportation infrastructure, and to transform the combined Tanasbourne/AmberGlen areas into a regional center. Public goals included meeting ongoing demand for jobs and a variety of housing, improving the jobs/housing balance, relieving pressure on established neighborhoods, planning for an uncertain energy future, fully supporting the region’s investment in light rail, and providing a model development for urban sustainability. In February 2009, City and regional leaders and stakeholders affirmed a shared commitment to the vision established during concept planning. They also agreed to pursue high-capacity transit link such as light rail through the AmberGlen plan area to connect to employment centers to the north and west, and to pursue designation of the combined Tanasbourne Town Center and AmberGlen plan areas as a Metro 2040 Regional Center. http://www.ci.hillsboro.or.us/planning/ohsuamberglen.aspx#PlanArea
