We all love a little competition from neighboring communities, but Oregon, you're kinda getting creamed by Polo & Mt. Morris when it comes to our Community Needs Assessment Surveys 🫣 Just 𝟏𝟎 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐃 and we can move on without needing the mercy rule. Please visit https://bit.ly/Oregon-CNAS. The survey only takes about 10 minutes and will give us great insight as we work towards our Community Revitalization Plan with the Illinois Housing Development Authority!

Hey, that's us! We still need more Oregon and Mt. Morris residents to fill out the community needs survey before we can move on to the next step in our community revitalization plan with the Illinois Housing Development Authority! Please click below and share!
