an overall plan in which everyone with a shared interest participates through a collaborative process.

[ Establishing a positive Community image.
[ Developing, enhancing and interpreting our historical heritage.
[ Creating and implementing the infrastructure to meet the needs of Citizens, Business and Industry.
[ Establishing Oregon City as the ?“End of the Oregon Trail?” and a ?“City of Firsts?”.
[ Providing quality, lifelong education.
[ Valuing, supporting and involving our youth.
