A large number of businesses have traditionally thrived in this valley, including Clearwater Paper which has grown into a world leader in paper products manufacturing and technology. The completion of the waterway system which made Lewiston into the West’s most inland seaport accelerated business growth and diversity.

The Ports of Clarkston, Lewiston, and Wilma offer a gateway for manufacturers to the West coast as well as to the other countries in the Pacific Rim. A network of river, rail, and highway transportation facilities, along with the economic assistance offered by area banks and community agencies, combine to give the Lewis-Clark Valley an excellent business climate.
