  • A Strategic Plan for Improving Water-Based
    A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR IMPROVING WATER-BASED TOURISM IN OREGON’S MT HOOD TERRITORY submitted to The Destination Marketing Organization for Clackamas County 150 Beavercreek Rd, Oregon City, OR www.mthoodterritory.com submitted by TH MARCH 20 2018 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR WATER-BASED TOURISM IN OREGON’S MT HOOD TERRITORY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1-1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Water is fun. Nearly everyone has experienced the pleasure of a refreshing dip on a hot summer day, the mist of a waterfall, or the thrill of a cliff jump. Some seek solitude by the edge of a lonely stream, others find excitement in extreme whitewater. Youth splash, teens jump, adults wade, but we all look to water for reprieve from our daily routine. Water recreation gives us a chance to see life differently. We test our skills with a fishing rod or a paddle, we relax on a float, and we use water as a medium to gather family and friends. Oregon’s recreational waters are visited 80 million times annually by people looking to swim, fish, surf, sail, paddle or simply sit by the beach. It seems that water is not only essential to life, but to our happiness. People migrate towards water for fun and Clackamas County has a lot of it. Mt Hood Territory, Clackamas County’s tourism marketing organization, initiated this comprehensive study to determine if its water recreation assets are being used to their greatest economic potential. Are the county’s rivers and lakes attracting visitors and maximizing their enjoyment? Are they being managed and marketed in a sustainable manner to increase water-based recreation? Do they generate overnight stays without degrading the environment or the experience? To answer these questions, the county hired Crane Associates of Burlington Vermont, a consulting firm with 20 years of international and domestic experience in environmental economics and sustainable economic development with a specialty in water-based recreation.

The open house was publicized by a mailing of more than 6,000 postcards to area addresses, a news release, website information, social media, and contacts with government and community organizations. More than 250 people attended the meeting, including 161 who signed in at the county’s welcome table and 122 who turned in completed comment forms. The responses from those comment forms, compiled by subject and in raw form, are shown below. The numbers in parentheses before many items represents the total number comments received that reflected that response.

  • Chapter 3: Background and Existing Plans
    12/21/2005 CHAPTER 3 - BACKGROUND AND EXISTING PLANS CHAPTER 3: BACKGROUND AND EXISTING PLANS This section provides an overview of transportation issues compiled from the transportation plans and studies of other jurisdictions and those already in effect for Marion County, and from extensive public involvement through open houses and Technical Advisory Committee and Citizens Review Committee meetings both during the original 1998 TSP process and the current update. In addition, County staff also contributed in identifying transportation issues as part of the planning process. 3.1 REVIEW OF EXISTING PLANS AND STUDIES Transportation studies, system plans, and comprehensive land use plans were collected and reviewed to identify pertinent transportation issues and policy statements. A summary of issues from these plans and studies is provided below. Information considered in the development of the initial 1998 Rural Transportation System Plan (RTSP) is included below in plain text. Information added since the development of the original RTSP is shown in italics. All information collected has been fully considered in the planning efforts of this update. Some jurisdictions’ plans that were included in the 1998 TSP have been superseded by subsequent planning efforts; plans that have been superseded are not included in this update. The purpose of this section is to provide a summary (for reporting purposes only) of planning efforts that have been conducted that would affect the Marion County rural transportation system. We have attempted to accurately represent these plans, but one should review each jurisdiction plan for the full text. The information presented is for reporting purposes only, and Marion County does not necessarily agree with each aspect of each plan.

  • To Access the David Duniway Papers Finding Aide
    Container List 1999.013 ~ Records ~ Duniway, David C. 07/19/2017 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 01 1.01 1868-1980 Adolph-Gill Bldgs The materials in this folder relate to the buildings owned and occupied by J.K. Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter. References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space.
