Plan Strategy

An assessment of economic conditions, economic development needs and opportunities in the October 1999 Plan Update has helped to identify these key strategies for economic development:

  • Focus on economic stabilization, diversification, job creation and work force training by helping existing and emerging businesses.
  • Capitalize on the existing comparative advantages and economic strengths of the National Scenic Area, such as tourism potential, newly added industrial land and waterfront opportunities.
  • Revitalize communities and provide gap financing for expanding infrastructure capacity.
  • Provide a Gorge-wide planning framework for improving economic vitality in the entire National Scenic Area.
