Next Toledo Code Meeting August 30

The Toledo Comprehensive Plan & Industrial Code Update Project Committee holds a public meeting at 6:00 p.m. August 30 at the Toledo Fire Hall (285 NW Burgess Rd). This is the second in a series of meetings with the Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments and the City of Toledo to guide the update of the Toledo Comprehensive Plan and land development code to reflect current economic trends and opportunities. For more information on this meeting, or to participate, please contact Theresa Conley at (541)758-1913 or tconley@ocwcog.org

The code project includes an inventory of buildable land and an analysis of economic opportunities. The result will be code changes to be submitted for City Council approval later this year. At a kickoff meeting in May, city officials expressed a desire to site businesses in the right places, to avoid the types of conflicts being experienced between Cyclone Marine’s fish-processing facility and neighborhood residents. Cascades West selected Toledo as a pilot project to serve as a model for other small Oregon cities trying to improve economic development opportunities.
