Marion County wildfire recovery updated and media availability following commissioners' regular Board Session 

On Wednesday, September 23, 2020, the Marion County Board of Commissioners, Sheriff Joe Kast, and Public Works Director Brian Nicholas will hold a media availability to provide an update to inform the community of the latest information regarding the recovery from wildfires in the Santiam Canyon. The availability will immediately follow the regular board session, which begins at 9:00 a.m.

The board session and media availability will be held in the Senator Hearing Room of Courthouse Square located at 555 Court St. NE, Salem, OR. The media availability will also stream live on the Marion County, OR Facebook page (@MarionCountyOR).

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will only be allowing one media representative per outlet. Once the room has reached capacity, no additional media partners will be permitted to enter. Questions may be submitted until 8:00 a.m. on Sept. 16 to PIO2@co.marion.or.us. Questions from media partners will also be accepted during the media availability via Facebook.
