CREZ CATEGORIES
-Continuedfrom PAGE ONE
area at the Port of Morrow)
in lieu of property taxes.
The zone is used to attract
new businesses and so far
has been very successful,
with major new expansions
and job creation from Con
Agra Foods and Tillamook
Cheese, and new computer
server farms constructed
by Vadata, a division of
Amazon.com.
The CREZ board has
received and disbursed
some funds already, mainly
on housing, public safety
and education, but wants
to avoid having a stream
o f groups and districts
coming to it with requests.
The board felt establishing
the spending categories
and disbursing the funds
in lump sums to major
organizations around the
county would be the best
way to go.
“ We should look at
larger categories where
we don’t have to deal with
every request,” said Neal,
who is also general manager
of the Port of Morrow. “If
it is education, we push it
(the funds) out there and
let those that deal with
education take care of the
specifics.”
The lone and Morrow
County education
foundations are examples
already used by the CREZ
for disbursing education
funds. The Willow Creek
Economic Development
Group has also received
funding for a housing
program.
A l t h o u g h no set
percentage of the yearly
f unds has yet been
e a r m a r k e d for each
category, it was suggested
that education be given 30
to 35 percent of the money
coming in each year.
“I would like to see the
money go to help our kids
get a better education and
go get a better job,” said
board member Greg Sweek.
Many board members
agreed the money should
be used to help local young
people be better prepared to
find employment.
“We should help the
kids go out and find a
good job in the market,”
said board chairman Don
Russell.
“We are getting money
from the data companies,
and do we want that money
to train for jobs there?”
asked CREZ manager Carla
McLane rhetorically.
ITie board also discussed
possible partnerships with
the businesses at the Port
to provide more workforce
training for the jobs being
created.
The major contributors
so far to the CREZ are
Rack Space which will
put in S2.7 million over
15 years, Columbia River
Technologies, or Tillamook
Cheese, which will pay
$4.875 million. Vadata
at $599.000, Columbia
Plywood at $75,000 and the
biggest, ConAgra Foods,
which is putting in a major
expansion at the Port, and
is set to pay $14.25 million
to CREZ over the next 15
years.
In other business
the board looked over a
list of charitable and other
organizations, which will
be presented to businesses
in the enterprise zone for
possible direct funding
from those businesses.
Any funds donated to the
groups will be offset against
the fees the businesses are
contracted to pay the CREZ.
The charitable giving is
a way for the businesses
to directly give money to
worthwhile organizations in
the county. So far McLane
has compiled a list of eight
cities, towns and chambers
within Morrow County, 27
special taxing districts. 17
community organizations,
and 12 youth organizations.
