Final thoughts • New development can’t shoulder all new infrastructure costs. • Infrastructure requires long term planning and commitments. • Results of lack of development: • Stagnant economy • Higher unemployment • Growing social costs • Increased dependence on Oregon
Ideas • Extend Ports’ abilities to act outside of traditional boundaries • Create a local public works trust fund • Right size permit and development fees so they are consistent throughout the county and can reasonably support needed infrastructure • County-wide storm water plan
