In its proposed Community Marketing Work Plan presented to The Dalles City Council last week, The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce included a new campaign for a “Maker’s District.” Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson says the concept has been developed in conjunction with several businesses in the downtown area, and it emphasizes anything actually made in The Dalles, starting with breweries and wineries but expanding out further to other handmade products. Farquharson says the campaign is still being developed, but will retain a historic feel while including a fun exploration angle. The Community Marketing Work Plan is being considered by the City as it goes through its 2018-19 budget process.
