Economic Development Strategies Open House

The City of Stayton has launched a process to develop an Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan. Over the past several decades the City has experienced steady growth but growth has substantially slowed during the past ten years.

The City hired Bridge Economic Development and Mackenzie to evaluate opportunities for employment growth and identify steps to remove barriers to foster private investment within the industrial park.

As part of the evaluation process, the consultant team met with community stakeholders in January and presented preliminary findings to the City Council at their March 4 meeting. The presentation and future information can be found on the City’s website: http://staytonoregon.gov/page/planning_eco_devo_strategies

The City has posted a survey that can be completed online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WQZML8K. The survey asks participants about their priorities for industrial and commercial development.
