    Yamhill County : Comprehensive plan (1974)
    (Yamhill County (Or.), 1974-08) Yamhill County (Or.); Yamhill County (Or.). Dept. of Planning and Development
    This document is the Comprehensive Plan for Yamhill County. The planning area includes all of Yamhill County, with full consideration of its ten member cities and the large Federal ownerships in the western part of the County. Piecemeal efforts at preparing and implementing plans for major sections of the County and a number of its cities have been carried out in recent years, but nearly all of these projects have been carried out on a one-time, consulting basis and lacked sufficient scope, resources and political and citizen commitment. This study is the first major effort undertaken by the County government and the citizens themselves utilizing their own resources to chart the future for all of the Yamhill County community and follow through with a strong commitment to implementation.
