The Fairview Urban Renewal Area was established in 1984 to prepare 390 acres in southeast Salem for manufacturing and industrial uses. This effort included installing public utilities to support development and creating opportunities to expand employment in the area. Today, the Fairview Urban Renewal Area successfully houses several businesses, contributing to Salem’s economic growth.
