The Rural Economy Project

The Rural Economy Project is a partnership between community organizations and Oregon Public Broadcasting to showcase the stories of successful entrepreneurs, people trying to make ends meet, and communities working to build stable, vital economies in Oregon’s rural towns. The stories are designed to inspire sustainable community building and raise awareness of RIPPLE resources available to small business owners and the unemployed.
