About A new series explores the path to recovery.

In the weeks and months ahead, The Columbian will review the obstacles slowing Clark County's recovery, and will examine how well local leaders are working together to overcome these hurdles. Everything from our housing, financial and labor markets to our relationship with Portland, and our land-use and transportation plans will go under the microscope. The first installment of our "Getting to Growth" series kicks off the search for a path to recovery, in part, by showing how one company came back from the brink. Columbia Vista's example also sheds light on the broader challenges the county faces as it struggles to effectively position its land, labor and capital.
