Oregon is focused on accelerating our state's economic recovery by creating jobs and economic stability for communities throughout the state during this volatile time.
Governor Ted Kulongoski's approach is comprehensive, leveraging state and federal dollars and private investment to maximize efforts that deliver short-term stimulus and long-term economic prosperity.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) empowers Oregon to invest in its economy by pursuing smart, sustainable, and transformational efforts -- doing this "The Oregon Way."
Oregon's strategy is to build on our track record of innovation. The ARRA provides Oregon an opportunity to transform the way the state approaches economic development and demonstrate to the world that through pioneering, green, and creative investments, we can deliver jobs immediately and for the long-term while also reducing energy costs and our carbon footprint -- wins for our economy and environment.
