My highest priority as Governor of Oregon is to rebuild the state’s economy and restore trust in government. The Economic Revitalization Team (ERT) is key tool in achieving both these goals.
The five ERT Regional Coordinators stationed around the state are charged with making a difference in how this state does economic development. The ERT has worked closely with OECDD to create a certified industrial sites program, and the world now knows that Oregon is open and ready for business.
The ERT is also on point to make government work better and smarter both in the field and in Salem. It’s the job of the ERT Regional Coordinators to be a connection between my office and local government and to work with state agencies to coordinate, leverage and streamline state agency actions, investments and permits on local economic and community development projects. In addition, the ERT Director is working with ten state agency directors to coordinate and streamline state policies, program and procedures.
Under my administration, I promise you that state government will be a help rather than a hindrance to local jurisdictions and the business community. You can contact my office or the ERT Regional Coordinators if you want to know more about what we’re doing to rebuild the economy and restore trust in government.
