OHBA Hosts Meeting with Governor Kotek

Several of our members and OHBA staff recently met with Governor Kotek in Portland to discuss our industry’s priorities heading into the next legislative session. Among topics covered were the need for infrastructure funding, checking the realities of proposed density requirements, as well as the need to ensure UGB expansion opportunities in future legislation. The meeting, which lasted over 1.5 hours and included a range of builders and developers was also an important opportunity to ensure that the recommendations coming out of the Housing Production Advisory Council (HPAC) are seriously considered by the Governor and her staff for action in the legislative and executive realms.
