We know you don’t have time to keep track of all that is going on in the world…or even your community. That is why we are are here to help keep you up-to-date on the issues that matter to the Mid-Willamette Valley.

Whether we’re talking about taxes, homelessness, regulations, agriculture, PERS, or traffic, we are keeping people informed so that together we can keep our communities great places to live.

One way we do this is to send out occasional updates via email with news stories about the issues that matter most to you. You can check out some previous editions by clicking here. You can also catch us on Facebook here.

Who We Are

Unfortunately, Oregon has not been achieving its goals. Homelessness has reached crisis levels, traffic congestion is increasing pollution and slowing our local economy, and the cost of living and doing business are putting many working families financial strain.

Citizens for Livable Communities (CLC) is an organization dedicated to improving the local economy, creating jobs, and enhancing the livability of the Mid-Willamette Valley. Because we know that an informed community will help achieve these goals, we seek to provide fact-based information to citizens in the mid-valley region about the issues that matter to them most.

We hope that those of you who want to work together to build healthy communities in Oregon will take advantage of these resources and tools.
