Adoption of EOTEC Strategic Plan
Summary and Background
The City of Hermiston retained SSW Consulting, LLC to conduct public outreach to develop a strategic plan to assist the City in their management of the Eastern Oregon Trade and Events Center (EOTEC) over the next 10 years. The process was designed to engage stakeholders across the community to develop broad support for the plan. This plan is a compilation of information from various stakeholders regarding operations and best practices. It also provides a summary of the public outreach efforts.
