Oregon City hopes to keep hometown feel while acting more like big city
Newly elected Mayor Rachel Lyles Smith participates in first public forum after swearing in
Newly elected Oregon City Mayor Rachel Lyles Smith called for the city to hold onto our hometown feel and to act a little bit more like a big city in taking charge on housing/homelessness issues.
In her first public forum the day after being sworn in as mayor, Lyles Smith on April 8 said new tourism programs supporting Oregon City restaurants while promoting nearby historic sites will help preserve the city s unique aspects as commissioners approve various options for denser residential development.
