The Gorge Effect

An Oregon Business Magazine article outlining what's happening in the Gorge as a classic example of economic clustering, where a group of companies in the same industry benefit from being located near each other. The proximity lends itself to local partnerships and idea sharing. Prominent Gorge area manufacturers include Hood Technology, Electronics Assemblers, Cloud Cap Technology and Real Carbon, along with Insitu in Bingen, WA.
