Columbia River Economic Development Council’s Interim President Max Ault will discuss the economic growth strategies outlined in the newest Economic Development Plan adopted county-wide last year, with a focus on the implications and opportunities in Battle Ground and North County. Ault will present a deep dive on the three strategic goals and five key sectors CREDC and its private and public partners will focus on over the five-year implementation phase, and how these initiatives map to the broader regional and state-wide efforts.
