Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Land use planning in Oregon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In November 2007, Oregon Ballot Measure 37 (2004) was the WikiProject Oregon "Collaboration of the Week." It was generally agreed (see the talk page) that a more general article about the history of land use planning in Oregon was needed, and that much of what was in the Measure 37 article would be better suited to the more general article.

So, here's a draft/outline/timeline, to start that off.
