THANK YOU

Thank you to all who participated in last weeks public meetings, as well as to those who contributed their thoughts through email and on the blog. Your comments on the preliminary proposals for Oregon State Parks in the Columbia River Gorge are already helping our planning team to clarify the priorities for managing state parks over the next 15- 20 years. Below are summaries of our public presentation and the open discussions that followed.

NEXT STEPS

Our next steps are to continue to revise the plan proposals, consider budget and phasing for the projects, develop management strategies for the parks and continue to develop partnership opportunities with neighboring agencies and stake holders. We will be announcing the dates and locations for our last set of public meetings in the next few weeks.
