Tri-Cities BoardThe Golden Hundred
One hundred local businesses backed this paper before it was proven. We are keeping their names on the record permanently.
— of 100 positions claimed
How to join
Two years of Enhanced or Premium, paid up front
That is the whole requirement. The price is the standard two-year rate every business gets — 20% below monthly — so a founding position costs nothing extra.
Enhanced
Qualifies$864 / 2 years
Works out to $36/month — 20% off the monthly rate.
Premium
Qualifies$1728 / 2 years
Works out to $72/month — 20% off the monthly rate.
Select the two-year option at checkout. Your number is assigned the moment payment clears.
What a position carries
Recognition that outlasts the subscription
A number that is yours for good
Founding Partner #1 through #100 is assigned in the order businesses commit, and it stays with your listing permanently — even if your plan changes later.
Your plan, running from day one
Everything in Enhanced or Premium: the richer listing, gallery, profile video, promotion banner, article publishing, and advertising priority.
Perks startup hardware covered
Founding Partners offer at least one Community Supporter deal, and Tri-Cities Board covers the Perks startup pack for Golden Hundred businesses during onboarding so hardware can be set up and working. Replacements are $35 per counter stand and $15 per employee card.
Permanent public recognition
A gold Founding Partner badge on your directory card and profile, plus your listing on this page for as long as Tri-Cities Board exists.
To be clear about what this is not: The Golden Hundred is not a ranking of the best businesses in the Tri-Cities, and it is not a permanent subscription discount. It records who was willing to fund local coverage early. The Perks startup pack is covered; replacement hardware remains the business's responsibility at $35 per counter stand and $15 per employee card.
The roster
The list starts here
No positions have been claimed yet. The first business to commit becomes Founding Partner #1.
This spot is waiting for a name. Positions are assigned strictly in the order two-year plans are paid.
100 positions left
Once the hundredth business commits, the campaign closes and the list is final. Enhanced and Premium will still be available — the number will not be.
Local journalism needs local backers
The Together Foundation has not launched yet — our intention is that ten percent of every subscription will fund it. Founding Partners got here first. Thank you for helping us build.
