In 2013 an estimated 230,000 bicycle trips in the Gorge generated over $21 million in visitor spending.

Today Lipps is part of a new wave of business owners in Cascade Locks who want to make the town more bike-friendly. “Several businesses in this town have changed ownership,” he said, “And we’re re-thinking everything.”

"The city of Cascade Locks has been cranking away at becoming an increasingly bike-friendly destination over the past couple of years." Dave Lipps led the community effort to bring 40 new bike racks to town, Cascade Locks Oregon. He has a vision for revitalizing our downtown, and this is just one piece of that puzzle.

My name is Dave Lipps and I am running for the Port of Cascade Locks Commission Position #3. As a resident and business owner in Cascade Locks Oregon, I see the Port as a major economic development driver that has the capacity to create and foster locally owned businesses and jobs to secure our future beyond the Bridge of the Gods.

Our town has so much potential, but we have faced a number of divisive issues that have left our community without the jobs and opportunities that we had hoped for. I want to move forward. Let’s get locally owned businesses to start here and stay here -- I am great example of this myself, and I see a bright future for our town and economy here in Cascade Locks.

As Governor Brown noted recently in her State of the State address, “our own Oregon-grown businesses are key to the state's economic recovery: Seventy percent of new jobs in this state are created when existing Oregon companies grow and expand.” Again, my own business has contributed to this equation here in town -- I started my business here with 0 employees, and now we employ 17 and counting in less than 2 years.

Let’s keep it local. I love living here and contributing to our growing Cascade Locks economy -- from supporting other local businesses to spearheading the effort to bring 40 bike racks to town to creating job opportunities for locals, I am here and I am committed to the future of Cascade Locks, and I would like to help facilitate this as a Port Commissioner.
