Land Use Booth at the Oregon State Fair

August 12, 2023

Thrive is working with land use coalition partners on a booth at the Oregon State Fair to promote Oregon's land use system and direct attention to the reasons why Oregon is such a great state to live, work, farm, and play in. We are also celebrating the 50h year of Oregon's pioneering land use system of laws! We are hoping visitors to the booth will come away with a new or renewed appreciation for the value of our land-use planning program. We want Oregonians to realize how important land use is to our quality of life; things look different here on purpose!
