ECONOMIC SECURITY
The Methow Valley needs sustainable economic development that can create real opportunity and living wage jobs for local families.
In an effort to encourage discussion and discover solutions, CPC is hosting a series of events designed to explore various ways of strengthening our local economy. We will add the dates, times, and locations to each event as soon as they are available.

An Entrepreneurs Seminar co-sponsored by CPC and the Economic Alliance highlighting local supports available to help small businesses succeed including: business training, access to investment capital, mentoring, and networking opportunities.
Held Thursday, November 18th, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Winthrop Barn
Identify local economic opportunities – the outcome to CPC’s survey on what locals buy outside the valley, what that they would like to purchase here, plus a panel discussion by local entrepreneurs on potential opportunities waiting to be met.
Explore options for meeting basic needs that will make our community stronger and shield us from economic ups and downs beyond our control. Hear panelists from around the state discuss how their communities are setting up innovative systems to encourage local self-reliance.
