City of Joseph Buildable Lands Inventory

This rural planning program involves Joseph officials working with Eastern Oregon University students and faculty members to develop a Buildable Lands Inventory. The goal is provide the city with information to support the long-term needs of Joseph. This documentation is being compiled by university graduate and undergraduate students performing policy analysis and reviewing city codes. This work gives students real-world experience while providing information the city can use to update its comprehensive plan. The Joseph effort is funded by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and supported by ECONorthwest.
