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.
