Oregon Investment Board HomeIn 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 Oregon and Washington $5 million each for the purpose of making economic development loans and grants. The Management Plan for the National Scenic Area is a separate document (also included in the below word document) prepared by the Gorge Commission and U.S. Forest Service. The plan outlines a process by which the Gorge Commission is to certify that economic development activities undertaken under the grants and loans program are consistent with the National Scenic Act, the management plan, and land use ordinances. The Oregon Investment is staffed by the Mid-Columbia Economic Development District and governed by a seven-member Board of represenatatives from the three Oregon counties in the National Scenic Areas. Businesses or organizations from the Washington counties should be in contact with the Washington Investment Board. Every few months, the two Boards meet together in a Bi-State Advisory Council. The Oregon Investment Board also works with their partners in Washington—the Washington Investment Board—through the Bi-State Advisory Council. |
