You are invited and encouraged to attend a public hearing regarding the revised
Draft Land Use and Management Plan for the South Redmond Tract. This hearing
will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 6:30 p.m. at the Redmond Fire & Rescue
Meeting Room, 341 NW Dogwood, Redmond.
The draft plan has been substantially modified in response to public comments
received to date and in response to local and regional employment land needs and
opportunities. The plan will guide the use and development of the 945 -acre South
Redmond Tract. DSL is particularly interested in hearing the Board's response to
the proposed 218 -acre land exchange with Deschutes County as identified on the
Land Management Concept map.
As an asset of the Common School Fund, the South Redmond Tract offers a
significant investment opportunity to produce revenue for the Fund. The
approximately 600 -acres in the southern portion of the tract are planned for large -
lot industrial development with possible rail access and have the potential to
become a major employment center for the Redmond area.
Comments may also be provided in writing or by email to the address below. The
public comment period closes on June 30, 2008, at 5:00 p.m. A copy of the South
Redmond Tract revised Draft Land Use and Management Plan is available on the
Department's Web site www.oregonstatelands.us or by contacting:
