2026 City of Oregon City Community Survey
The City Commission and Oregon City staff believe that resident input is a crucial element when planning for the future. Asking these questions ensures the City’s priorities are aligned with those of the community.
We greatly appreciate your time. We realize that this survey takes time out of your already busy schedule, we wouldn’t ask this of you if we didn’t believe it to be a critical element in the process. Your responses will also help the City Commissioners gauge the success of their or the City's efforts to carry out the community's vision for the City of Oregon City and to address the many opportunities and challenges it faces. Oregon City's adopted vision is to embrace and advance Oregon City's historic role as a regional leader, and our mission is to build a dynamic community that leads the State in safety, economic opportunity, livability, and historic significance.
