On Wednesday October 15th, the Department of Land Conservation and Development - in conjunction with a Subcommittee of the Oregon House Interim Committee on Agriculture and National Resources - will hold an informational hearing on the topic of destination resorts. This may be the only field hearing on this topic prior to the 2009 legislative session, so if you have views to express regarding destination resorts, this is the time to do it.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday October 15th at 3:00 at the Prineville City Hall at 387 NE 3rd Street Prineville, OR 97754. The hearing will include a DLCD presentation summarizing current destination resort law and the department's proposed 2009 legislative concept regarding destination resorts. For additional information contact Doug White at 541-318-8193 or by e-mail at doug.white@state.or.us.

If you have concerns about destination resorts, it's critical to let DLCD and the legislative committee know so that they can have an opportunity to consider whether or not to incorporate them in planned legislation. For DLCD's full agenda, see the attachment below.
