Building in the National Scenic Area
Development in the National Scenic Area should blend into the natural surroundings. The Building in the National Scenic Area Handbook is meant to be a tool for landowners to consider building designs and placement that blend buildings in with the surrounding landscape.
A hard copy of the handbook is also available at county planning offices and the Gorge Commission office.
