While taking steps to protect our long existing economic background, i.e. agriculture, forestry, brewing, tourism and retirement, we are pursuing an even greater diversity for our economy.
Plans are well underway to develop and improve the infrastructure needed to support economic growth.
Highway No. 3, the main street of Creston, is being completely rebuilt. Agriculture continues to be one of the backbones of the Creston Valley's economy. Since the early 1900's, fruit has been exported from this area. Although the market for our apples is currently in decline, the ever-resourceful local farmers are shifting into cherry production. Creston cherries are now shipped around the world.
