Reporting recirculated this time covers the Oregon legislature’s approval of funding to publicly acquire the Abiqua Falls area after it was put up for sale. Visitors had accessed the privately owned waterfall, about 28 meters high, and the aim was to preserve public access, but a land survey, a managing body, and operating funding remained unresolved. Buying a natural attraction with a steep approach does not make it a developed state park. An official follow-up said that, even after a commission approved the acquisition in September, development and management options were still under review, with the transaction expected to close around year-end.
