Open Spaces and Open Houses? The Tradeoffs in Oregon’s Land Use System

by | Jun 12, 2023 | Uncategorized

Join the City Club of Central Oregon (CCCO) and nationally recognized land use expert Bill Fulton, as he explores what makes Oregon’s land use system unique, and its strengths and weaknesses compared to other systems in the U.S.  At 50 years old, Oregon’s land use system has shaped our landscape, cities, economic development and public policy.

“This forum presents an unique opportunity for our community to learn, reflect and find agreement around issues in our land use system,” said Kim Gammond, Executive Director at the City Club of Central Oregon.

Following Fulton’s presentation, CCCO will host a discussion with him and representatives from the development and conservation community, focusing on what they find successful in this system, what is frustrating, and how it could be improved.

Keynote: Bill Fulton

As of June 1, Kor Community Land Trust has rebranded to RootedHomes. Over the past two years, the organization has not only expanded the number of net-zero homes it is building in Central Oregon, but also centered the needs of its homebuyers in its community designs and organizational leadership. Feedback from our homebuyers shaped us into the non-profit organization we are today. In working with our homebuyer focus groups over the past six months, we heard that RootedHomes better connects the community to the intentionality of our brand and our value of sustainable building. Our homes root homebuyers to the Central Oregon community, and now our brand does too.

Rooted Homes’ Mission

RootedHomes provides environmentally sustainable and permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for those who contribute to the fabric of the Central Oregon economy and community.
