Public Invited to Take Economic Development Survey

As part of an economic opportunities planning process. Clatsop County Community Development Department invites community members and local business owners to complete a short survey on future economic development issues facing Clatsop County and northwest Oregon.

“We want and need to hear from residents and business owners. This is your opportunity to provide input on how you would like to see Clatsop County grow economically,” said Clatsop County Planning Manager Jay Blake.

With the likelihood that the recently approved Habitat Conservation Plan will limit revenue from logging and possibly cause a reduction in living wage jobs, Clatsop County is at a critical juncture.

The online survey is available through August 5, 2024, in English and Spanish.
