Economic and Community Development State Service Alignment

Oregon state government is moving from a system where local communities adjust priorities to fit within existing bureaucratic structures to one where government adjusts its structure to support and address local priorities. In an October 2013 consultation, the State of Oregon invited members of Oregon's Kitchen Table to identify barriers to better alignment of local and state programs and then asked you to envision a new system. Members who took part in the consultation were then given the opportunity to engage further in the alignment process and were invited to participate in in-person events held across the state's five regions during December 2014.  We'll be following up with another consultation based on what we've learned from this one.
