Eber, Sullivan review & critique Oregon’s planning program
November 18th, 2009 by Jim JustRon Eber and Ed Sullivan have just made available their new article Long and Winding Road: Farmland Protection in Oregon 1963 – 2009.
Ron Eber, now retired, was the long-time farm and forest specialist at the Department of Land Conservation and Development. Ed Sullivan is the dean of Oregon land use attorneys at Garvey Shubert Barer. The article was published in the San Joaquin Agricultural Law Review.
I haven’t had a chance to read much of it yet. The article ends with “a few modest suggestions for further improvements” to Oregon’s planning program. We’ll be giving particular attention to these recommendations, especially as they relate to the challenges of peak oil and climate change.
