On January 25th, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) directed Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) staff to initiate rulemaking to clarify use of the "Target Industries Approach" by cities in Economic Opportunities Analyses (EOAs). The department is currently accepting applications from interested Oregonians to serve on the Rules Advisory Committee (RAC). RAC members will advise agency staff in drafting recommended rules.
