The Joint Wasco County Enterprise Zone received confirmation of redesignation. The updated zone builds on the City of The Dalles’ 30 year foundation by allowing other areas within the County to participate. With the new 10 year term, the cities of The Dalles, Dufur, Maupin, and Mosier and the communities of Tygh Valley, Wamic, and Pine Grove all have commercial and industrial areas now included in the Enterprise Zone. The zone provides a short term property tax abatement to support business investment into communities.
