The projects will bring jobs and economic diversity to Oregon’s distressed areas and rural communities.
The aggregate principal amount of lottery bonds issued pursuant to this section may not exceed the sum of $25 million and an additional amount estimated by the State Treasurer to be necessary to pay bond-related costs.
