Bridging a Great Divide : The Battle for the Columbia River Gorge, Paperback by Durbin, Kathie, ISBN 0870717162, ISBN-13 9780870717161, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In 1986, the majestic Columbia River Gorge was set on an entirely new direction by a National Scenic Area Act, which encouraged compatible economic development in Gorge communities which had been impacted by the rise and fall of forestry and aluminum plants. To replace them were proposed installations of upscale tourism, outdoor recreation, wind farms, and gentrification. Author Durbin carefully interviewed the new sources of income along with the lingering few plants and sawmill owners, and compared the intentions of the National Scenic Area Act with the results.
