Linn County Cultural Plan

The Linn County Cultural Plan is a document created in response to a request by the Oregon Cultural Trust. In their first year of funding from the Trust, each county was required to develop a county-wide cultural plan to identify the unique cultural life of the area and to determine future cultural funding priorities
