Promises Kept

Secured Funds for Local Projects:

Carlton – Water System Improvements
The City of Carlton will receive $1.8 million to upgrade the southeast water distribution system. This project will replace aging pipes, improve reliability during peak demand and drought conditions, and increase fire protection for Yamhill-Carlton Elementary School. These upgrades will also help support future workforce housing and continued community growth.

McMinnville – Alpine Avenue Street Improvements (Phase 2A)
$1.5 million was approved for the next phase of improvements to Alpine Avenue in northeast McMinnville. The project will include road upgrades, stormwater drainage improvements, and new bike and pedestrian amenities to improve safety and connectivity in the area.

Lafayette – Canyon View Pump Station Replacement
The City of Lafayette will receive $1.4 million to replace the Canyon View Pump Station, an important infrastructure upgrade that will help ensure reliable water service for local residents and businesses.

Protecting Oregon’s Nursery Industry
The Legislature also approved $1.8 million to continue efforts to eradicate the invasive Japanese beetle. This funding is especially important for our region, where nurseries and agriculture are a key part of the local economy.

In addition, House Republicans successfully removed the lottery cap on the County Fair Account, ensuring that 1% of lottery net proceeds will go toward supporting county fairgrounds.
