In April, as an introduction to our “Collaborating for Regional Growth” forum, I talked about Oregon’s unique land use system. I posed this question, “How do we balance our desire to protect Oregon’s farm and forest land, against our need for good business growth – including manufacturing – that creates a well-trained, well-paid workforce and provides opportunities for investments in a healthy community.”
We said very clearly the forum was a ‘first’ not an ‘only’ conversation on this topic.
