Good morning, Grants Pass. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 24th of December.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Main Street Grants Pass is searching for its first full-time Executive Director to boost downtown revitalization and support the growing business community — the role is backed by city funding and a private donor, with the board aiming to fill the position by February. KDRV
ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ The latest federal report showed that Southern Oregon’s economy grew by 1.1% from July through September, a modest pace that has little effect on rising local costs and limited wage gains. Small businesses, renters, and local governments continue to face ongoing financial challenges. The Grants Pass Tribune
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ BLM plans to thin dead trees across 9,000 acres near Applegate and Lake Creek to reduce wildfire risk, and a 37-day public comment period is open. Conservation groups worry thinning may cut living trees and alter forest health before the environmental assessment is released mid-2026. KDRV
