Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 18, 1994 - FIVE Court approves regional strategy plan Following a public hearing in Heppner, May 4, the Morrow County Court approved the first draft of the North Central Oregon Regional Strategy plan. This document will be submitted to the Oregon Economic Development Department by June 1 once it is approved by courts in the six county region o f M orrow , Gilliam, Grant, Sherman, Wasco and W heeler C ounties. This region is eligible for $ 1.1 million for economic devlopment from lottery funds. Key industries targeted for economic develop ment funding are agriculture, en vironmental sevices and tourism. Agriculture objectives include ex pansion and diversification of high value crops, new value- added processing opportunities and possible development of agricultural land, such as CRP, for uses such as dude ranches and hunting or fishing lodges. The environmental service category is to provide assistance for communities to comply with water, sewer, zoning and en vironmental requirements to meet the needs of economic develop ment expansion. The draft also cites a need to develop a comprehensive plan for tourism development of in frastructure to accommodate tourism and establishing alter native funding to assist tourist- related business development. A multi-regional marketing pro gram is also listed. j A final document after input from hearings, will be submitted to the state in September. Prioritized projects should be ready to ‘slap on the table* by Oc tober, Morrow County Judge Louis Carlson said. Each county will prioritize that county’s pro jects. The six-county board will make the final decisions. “ lit was good strategy for Morrow County to be part of this regional group,” said Gary Neal, Port of Morrow manager. These six counties have many common interests and this time there haven’t been so many confronta tional issues, Neal added, in reference to the last regional strategy planning session when Morrow County was linked with Umatilla County. Voting delegates from Morrow County included Neal, Larry Mills and Frank Pearson. John Prag, Boardman, and Kent Goodyear, Heppner, served as alternates. County court members will also serve as alternates for future meetings. G regory Sm ith, project developer form the Heppner GEODC office, said the process was evolutionary and input at hearings may lead to minor changes in the document. A series of meetings by representatives from the six counties was facilitated by Peter Dobert and Associates, Bend. Neal commented that economic devlopment has no set definition and that some projects could “ slide down the list“ because of interpretation. Mills added that some projects may be omitted in this six-year plan if funding is diverted to other things such as education. At the hearing, John Edmund- son, who is active in tourism, suggested that the multi-regional tourism promotion category should be strongly addessed in the plan. Edmundson said that the Eastern Oregon Visitors Associa tion has actively pursued regional tourism in hopes of accessing state funding, such as the gover nor’s discretionary funds. ID available for non-driver When cashing a check, a per son is usually asked for identifica tion. Most often a person uses his or her driver’s license which is a picture I.D. A picture identification card may be obtained from the Depart ment of Motor Vehicles if a driver’s license is not obtainable. This is called a non-driver’s iden tification card and costs $13. Three pieces of identification are needed to obtain the card: proof of age, name, such as a birth cer tificate or alien registration card; current Oregon address, such as a printed personal check; and one additional piece with your name, such as a Social Security card or pay stub.
