THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING!

There is a task force in Salem currently studying what land changes are needed to accommodate both farm lands and Urban Growth Boundaries. The information below could very well change how Damascus/Boring, Springwater, and Pleasant Valley concept plans are drawn up.

The following is an excerpt from the Oregon Association of Realtor's on-line magazine. Click on the link at the bottom for an insight as to what MAJOR land use changes could be slated for the state of Oregon, including current UGB's.

Oregon Land Use Planning Task Force


The Oregon Association of REALTORS was one of four select groups invited to sit on a panel presenting testimony to the Oregon Task Force on Land Use Planning at its May 24 meeting. The other groups on the panel were the Oregon Homebuilders Association, Oregonians in Action and the 1,000 Friends of Oregon. The Task Force requested that these groups advise it on the major land use issues that need to be addressed. Over the next three years, the Task Force will be recommending major changes to Oregon's land use system. There is a significant likelihood that many of these recommendations will become law.
