Ever wonder what powers the Applegate economy?

At this Community Summit, A Greater Applegate will partner with community leaders to present a comprehensive picture of the Applegate in the 2020’s and a snapshot of where we are at this point in time.

We will cover items both big and small—everything from the University of Oregon‘s recent study of our demographic and job data, results from our local business survey, to information gathered in-house including Wander Applegate’s website traffic, occupancy rates of our local vacation rentals, and more.

We will even throw in a few fun facts for good measure: How many pickle lemonades did Code 3 Coffee & Snacks sell this year? What were the most popular library books of 2024? How many hamburgers did the Lindsay Lodge sell this year? What was their most popular margarita?

We will cast an eye on trends in travel, food, farming, recreation, events and more.

PLEASE RSVP HERE.
