GO! local
Helping people invest in a vibrant community
CHALLENGE
The Columbia River Gorge is comprised of many small towns scattered along the banks and mountain valleys of the Columbia River in both Oregon and Washington. When the founder approached Blue Marble about joining the steering committee and later board of directors, we were excited to help this fledging nonprofit become an anchor for economic and community development in our region.
RESULTS
GO! established the region’s first “buy local” campaign. We developed a variety of “GO! Local” materials such as posters, T-shirts, stickers, business enrollment packets, a webpage (average 200 participants/year).
GO! had an extensive membership base and a positive impact on the community. While this org is no longer in existence, it was a catalyst to other successful projects and initiatives that continue to influence and contribute in the gorge today.
