Governor Tina Kotek said she has been in touch with incoming Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon and stressed keeping the team in Portland.
Senate Bill 1501 would redirect public dollars to a $600 million Moda Center project to support a long-term lease.
Kotek said the proposal aims to modernize the arena and is in the ballpark of what the NBA considers a viable package.

The package would address 20 years of lease timing to match bond repayment for arena upgrades.
Officials expect the Moda Center project to support thousands of local jobs and major events, including the 2030 NCAA Women’s Final Four.
Multnomah County and the city would contribute substantial funds to the project as part of the plan.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson indicated the city would provide upfront costs and ongoing contributions toward the arena upgrade.

Dundon-led group has an agreement to purchase the Trail Blazers for $4.25 billion, with NBA approval anticipated this spring.
