Usually when you think of passports it conjures up images of travel to faraway places like Europe or the Far East. But a group of local business owners and community activists have launched a passport program aimed at helping businesses right here in Roseburg.
The Roseburg Town Center, Blue Zones Project and Gathering Grounds coffee shop are partnering to offer a passport program to increase community support of downtown businesses. The program kicked off on Thursday and will run through Dec. 31. If it is successful, it will be extended into next year.
