Kotek Debuts 'Prosperity Roadmap' to Spur Economic Growth
The plan includes hiring a Chief Prosperity Officer and aims to improve workforce training and tax incentives to reverse Oregon’s decline in business rankings, currently 39th nationally.
- On Tuesday, Governor Tina Kotek unveiled Oregon's Prosperity Roadmap at Lam Research's Tualatin semiconductor facility to boost the state's economy.
- Prompted in part by a CNBC business ranking ranked Oregon 39th, Governor Tina Kotek of Oregon said the roadmap responds to sluggish population growth, rising unemployment and job losses at Intel and Nike.
- Kotek will hire a Chief Prosperity Officer and convene a Governor's Prosperity Council co-chaired by Curtis Robinhold and Renée James to craft specifics, while directing Business Oregon to complete a state economic development strategy.
- The roadmap promises to encourage business investment and create jobs amid recent layoffs, which officials say would boost state tax revenue and feature in the 2026 governor's race.
- Next week, the Oregon Business Plan Leadership Summit will debate the roadmap, which includes targeted tax changes considered in 2027 as state lawmakers face federal funding cuts.
