The Oregon Zoo plays a crucial role in our local economy, and voters have the opportunity to support it by approving the bond in May. With over 1.3 million visitors each year, many of whom come from outside the area, the zoo has a significant impact on local businesses, hotels, and restaurants. It is not only an educational and fun place for kids, families, and seniors but also a hub for cultural and recreational activities that benefit both residents and visitors.
As one of the most visited cultural landmarks in the Pacific Northwest, the Oregon Zoo contributes to the vibrancy of our community. It brings people together and instills a sense of pride in our region. Measure 26-244 will provide funding for necessary infrastructure upgrades at the zoo without increasing current tax rates. These improvements will help ensure that the Oregon Zoo remains a major economic driver for our region.
Supporting this bond is not only good economically but also an investment in the future of our community. By voting yes on Measure 26-244, we can help secure the future of this valuable asset for our region. As a journalist who believes in supporting local communities, I urge you to consider supporting this important measure.
