OWEB had nine land‑acquisition applications this cycle; staff to hold seven public hearings
Summary
Staff told the ARE committee that the land acquisitions grant cycle produced nine applications — seven fee projects — and confirmed that OWEB will hold public hearings for all proposed fee projects if funded.
Renee Davis told committee members that the current land acquisitions grant cycle closed with nine applications and that seven of those are fee projects. "We had 9 applications, which is more applications than we've had in a long time," staff said, noting the volume required more staff time and coordination.
Renee said OWEB will hold public hearings on any proposed fee projects around the state if they proceed toward funding, and staff are doing outreach (including an upcoming meeting with the Association of Oregon Counties) to gather input ahead of those hearings. No final funding decisions were made in the committee meeting; staff will present hearing schedules and project details as they are set.
