Five years ago, Salem was ranked 84th among the top 100 U.S. micropolitan areas. In 2024 we were 12th.

That kind of climb doesn't happen by accident. It happens because of deliberate investment, strong partnerships, and a community willing to do the work.

Our new Five-Year Economic Development Plan documents that progress — and maps out what comes next.

This plan was shaped by this community. 600+ people took part in building it. Now it belongs to all of Salem.
