About the OIB

In 1986, the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act established a bi-state, six-county region shared by the states of Oregon and Washington. In conjunction with this Act, Congress earmarked funds for the purpose of making economic development loans and grants. The Columbia River Gorge Oegon Investment Board (OIB) is responsible for the administration of these funds benefiting the Oregon counties lying in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The Oregon Investment is staffed by the Mid-Columbia Economic Development District and governed by a seven-member Board of representatives.
