Oregon is an amazing community says City Manager Darin DeHaan. He went on to say “We have so many people that are engaged in setting a vision for the future. However, one thing we realize is we are missing a strong voice and representation from the younger generation.” During a recent workshop the city conducted on Economic and Community Development they identified these three key areas of focus for 2025.
1) Seek affordable housing development
2) Increase marketing of Oregon to a wider geographical area
3) Act to increase retention and recruitment of younger demographics (20-35 y.o.)
“Oregon residents: Message me or email me ddehaan@cityoforegon.org if you are interested in participating in the discussion group of 20–35-year-olds.” Said Darin DeHaan, City Manager
