Title
Oregon Heritage All-Star Community Award to the City of Oregon City from the Oregon Heritage Commission
Body
BACKGROUND:
Oregon City has been designated by the Oregon Heritage Commission as an "Oregon Heritage All-Star Community." The Commission created the All-Star program to recognize the strong efforts by communities to broadly preserve and develop heritage resources. An All-Star designation requires that communities meet at least 15 of 20 criteria related to local heritage, including: heritage tourism efforts, historic preservation programs, photo and document archives, museums, historic cemeteries and more.
"Oregon City is one of the first Oregon communities that have proven they meet the designation criteria," said Kyle Jansson, coordinator for the Oregon Heritage Commission. "We applaud the City, its cultural and heritage organizations, it businesses and its residents for their efforts to date, and look forward to supporting them in the future."
