Tigard City Hall is moving forward with plans to update its Washington Square Regional Center plan, having recently hired a consultant to look at market trends in the expansive center area.

On Feb. 11, the Tigard City Council approved a contract with ECONorthwest, not to exceed $300,000, to update the center plan, which incorporates an 827-acre site that includes portions of the cities of Tigard, Beaverton and unincorporated Washington County.
