Abstract
An Oregon Story documents the history of land use in Oregon, centered on the crucial efforts of bipartisan lawmakers who recognized the environmental and economic importance of protecting the state's agricultural, coastal, forest, and rural lands from unregulated urbanization and development.
Through the words of key participants, the film describes the politics and passion that inspired the passage and implementation of Senate Bill 100 in 1973, and the vital role of land use planning in Oregon's environment and economy.
