A strong community needs Public Safety Levy
Citing the benefits to community enrichment of the public safety levy passed five years ago, and the desire to continue to support those outcomes, the Chamber Board of Directors voted unanimously to support the Clackamas County Sheriff Public Safety Local Option Levy on the November 8 ballot. The measure renews the expiring public safety levy approved by voters in 2006 and will not increase taxes.

Clackamas County farmers, producers offered survey to enhance agricultural opportunities in region
In order to provide an opportunity for agricultural businesses to share information about their farming operations, any barriers to business growth and their need for resources, Clackamas County has developed a survey tool. This survey can be taken online or upon request, sent in another format. Information derived from this survey will be included in Clackamas County's Agricultural Investment Plan. This Plan focuses on expanding countywide economic growth and also serves not only as a framework for the long-term preservation of the county's rich natural resources, but also as tool for fostering rural revitalization and economic sustainability.

Horses count in Clackamas County - Take the equine survey
Clackamas County is one of the top 10 horse counties in the country. We know how many horses there are in the county (on the farms that make more than $1000 each year), but that's all we know statistically.
We ask the help of horse owners and horse operations managers in gathering some solid information about the value and impact of the horse industry in the area. If we can document and recognize the value of the horse industry here, then we can attract more economic development dollars, tourism dollars, grants and other resources, businesses and events to our county's horse community. Complete The Equine Survey online or request a hard copy of the survey from Jennifer Johnson, Oregon Horse Country, by email.
