The Southeast Regional Alliance is a community and economic development region serving Grant, Harney, and Malheur Counties. It functions as the Regional Investment Board, Regional Partnership and Southeast Area Commission on Transportation. Click here to view or download the SRA Regional Investment Strategy for 05-07.

The Regional Investment Board receives lottery funding through the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department to be used for economic development purposes. These monies are available to entities in the form of grants or loans to support projects that will create jobs in the region. The long-term strategy in the Southeast Regional Alliance area is to make the appropriate investments that lead toward a viable economy and sustainable communities. More information on the grant program and an application packet may be downloaded from this site.

The Regional Partnership is made up of the Southeast Regional Alliance and regional representatives of the Governor’s Economic Revitalization Team. The Team includes the state Departments of Agriculture, Economic and Community Development, Environmental Quality, Housing and Community Services, Land Conservation and Development, State Lands, Transportation and a member of the governor’s staff. The purpose of the Regional Partnership is to develop a collaborative working relationship among local partners and state agencies as they address agreed upon issues, challenges and goals.

The Southeast Area Commission on Transportation (SEACT) acts as an advisory body to the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC). It serves as a forum for local government agencies and the private sector to discuss, understand and coordinate long-range transportation issues affecting the southeast Oregon region. Some of the specific responsibilities include reviewing the process and making recommendations for transportation infrastructure, capital investments and project prioritization in the region, communicating southeast Oregon regional transportation issues to the public, neighboring regions, area legislators and other interested organizations, and advising the OTC on state and regional policies affecting the region’s transportation system.
