about us

Our Mission


"Our mission is to foster community partnerships, projects, and priorities that create a favorable climate for economic and employment growth."

Our Vision


"We envision a happy, healthy, and vibrant community with ample employment opportunities and a standard of living allowing abundant engagement and fulfillment."

Our work


In 2011, a group of concerned Cottage Grove, Oregon, residents banded together to address the blight and disinvestment that had turned our once thriving timber community into one of stereotypical rural decay. Three years later, through hard work and vision of residents and partners, including the Cottage Grove Economic & Business Improvement District (EBID), the City of Cottage Grove, and the Cottage Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, the Cottage Grove Community Development Corporation has emerged as a local nonprofit leader in business development and community revitalization.
