LaCrosse Switching Buildings, Cities at Southshore

PORTLAND, OR-Although the publicly held maker of work boots is keeping its headquarters at Southshore Corporate Park, it is moving from 55,000 sf within Gresham city limits to a 144,690-sf building being built for it just inside the City of Portland. The move is worth $750,000 in government subsidies.

PORTLAND, OR-LaCrosse Footwear is moving its headquarters here from the neighboring City of Gresham without ever leaving Southshore Corporate Park, a 230-acre industrial park that straddles 185th Avenue, the border between the two cities. Currently located in a 55,000-sf space on the Gresham side of the park, the publicly held maker of performance boots for working, hunting and hiking has signed a 10-year lease for a yet-to-be-built 144,690-sf building on the Portland side of the park.

The move will net LaCrosse about $750,000 in government subsidies. The money will come in the form of two forgivable loans from the Portland Development Commission. The PDC’s Bob Alexander tells GlobeSt.com that one of the loans will come from the PDC’s Quality Jobs Program and the other from its Economic Opportunity Fund. The loans will be forgiven if the company meets certain wage and employment requirements, he says.
