Business Resiliency Projects
During the 2021 Oregon Legislative session, Representative Ron Noble (HD-24) worked with the McMinnville Economic Development Partnership (MEDP) and the City of McMinnville to secure $750,000 in HB 5006 for the McMinnville Business Recovery and Resiliency Plan (The Plan).
The Plan invests in priority projects identified to help McMinnville businesses recover from the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and become more resilient in the future.
MEDP and City of McMinnville representatives felt it was best for the McMinnville Economic Vitality Leadership Council (MEVLC) to recommend programs and methodologies for how best to distribute those funds into the business community that will make the most meaningful impact. The MEVLC identified three Business Community Issues with objectives:
1) Recruiting and Retaining Workforce
2)Trained Workforce
3)Business Resiliency
Currently, the City of McMinnville is launching four new programs for businesses located in the city limits.
