Sites & Buildings

A unique mix of privately owned as well as publicly owned buildings and build-to-suit opportunities are available in the Valley. In addition to existing buildings and office space the Valley has a variety of choices for companies seeking vacant property that is served by utilities and is ready for building construction.

Education

The Lewis-Clark Valley has a highly educated workforce. Two universities, one state college, and one community college, located within a 35-mile radius, provide the research and training connection for business. Research is an ongoing function in nearly all curricula at institutions of higher education, and sponsored programs conducted by the two universities exceed $140 million annually.

There are many programs available for employers to train employees in groups as small as five. Valley Vision can provide you with more information and resources for employee training.

Business

The Lewis-Clark Valley offers a unique location for starting and expanding companies. On one side of the Snake River is a corporate income tax state (Idaho); on the other side is a gross receipt tax state (Washington).They each present different regulatory environments, depending on the nature of the business. Business locations can be determined on the basis of most-appropriate tax and regulatory issues, while enjoying the same labor market, vendor support, transportation services and training resources.
