On December 9, The Oregon Business Plan findings, and the recommendations
drawn from these findings, will be presented at the Oregon Convention Center
to a summit of Oregon leaders hosted by U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, Gordon
Smith and Governor-elect Ted Kulongoski. Delegates will include the
governor-elect, legislators, and business and government officials from
throughout the state.
The summit will consider a series of initiatives to help Oregon nurture
world-class, competitive industries. These include steps to build high
performing K-12 and higher education systems, make better use of natural
resources, expanding industrial land availability to nurture, repair and
expand roads and bridges, increase Oregon's global access for people and
goods, streamline permitting, and refocus economic development. In light of
Oregon's public finance crisis, the summit will also consider what should be
done to find greater efficiencies in public services and to improve the way
state and local jurisdictions raise revenue.
