THE GORGE — Mid-Columbia Economic Development District (MCEDD) is seeking interested candidates involved with the Food and Beverage Industry within our five-county region for an opening on the MCEDD Board of Directors.

MCEDD promotes the creation of family-wage jobs, the diversification of the economic base, and the growth, development and retention of business and industry. MCEDD was established in 1969 by Klickitat, Skamania, Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman counties to benefit from better access to economic development loans and grants, pooled technical assistance, marketing, and administrative resources, and a regional approach to economic development efforts. Over the years MCEDD’s membership has grown to include counties, cities, ports and chambers of commerce within its five-county region.
