The Port of Morrow recently
announced plans to file a lawsuit
against the State of Oregon seeking
to overturn a proposed 93,000 acre
land sale adjacent to the Port.
Port commissioners believe the
public is getting locked out of the
process set up by the Oregon
Department o f Administrative
Services in Salem. According to
the port, the state recently informed
port officials that the land will be
sold instead to a private developer
without a formal process as
established by the state.
"We believe state law requires
public entities to be offered a
legitimate opportunity to purchase
state lands when they are sold. That
clearly did not take place in this
case," said Port Manager Gary Neal
The State of Oregon notified the
Port on July 2,2001, that it intended
to sell the property. But in a meeting
with Port officials in early August,
state employees made it clear they
had already made the decision to
sell the property to a private
landowner, according to a Port new s
release.
The property in question includes
important environmental areas to
be set aside as a nature reserve, as
well as property currently in use for
agricultural purposes.
"It’s important the public
understands that the environmental
reserve and other job-sustaining
functions will be protected if the
Port is allowed to purchase the
property on the public's behalf. In
addition to those assurances, the
citizens and the region will lose a
vital tool for economic expansion
and the creation of new jobs if this

interested in supporting efforts to

that a lot."
The suit has the clear support of

release.
Morrow
County
Commissioners passed a resolution
of support on Wednesday, Oct. 10.
The letter of intent was drafted
to Oregon State Attorney General
Hardy Mayers on Thursday, Oct.

this matter by Oct. 22. But Port
officials haven't given up try ing to
work out a fair.opportunity to
purchase the land, which includes
property in Morrow and Gilliam
counties, they said.
Neal adds, "There is still a little
time left for parties to sit down and
resolve this issue, w htch we think
will come down to allowing for a
fair and open process, that's always
been the Port's preferred course of
action."
