Welcome to Central Oregon! The region encompasses dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges to high desert plateaus within the counties of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
It's no surprise Central Oregon has led the state in population growth over the last
decade; in fact, one of five new Oregonians chose to live in the Tri-County area. Over the last decade, Central Oregon has also topped the state in job growth, resulting in a region that's characterized by small businesses and entrepreneurial activity. For most new residents, Central Oregon is a lifestyle choice, offering a friendly environment, year round recreation options, and world class amenities—all with the benefits of a small town. From a ranch in Prineville to an upscale urban condo in Bend, and all possibilities in between, the region presents a rare diversity of places to live—all within easy commuting distance
of work.
For a relocating business, Central Oregon has earned a reputation for welcoming new companies and industries. The region has some of the lowest operating costs in the Pacific Northwest—all without any sacrifice in transportation or telecom-munications infrastructure. What sets our communities apart from other lifestyle cities like Aspen or Jackson Hole is its livability, affordability, and solid middle class that are profess-sionally challenged in a range of industries that might surprise you, including software, biosciences, electronics, and renewable energy.
This Profile provides key business demographics to help understand the dynamics of the Tri-County region. If you need more specific information, call us or visit our comprehensive website at www.edcoinfo.com.

CENTRAL OREGON’S TOP PRIVATE EMPLOYERS
Listed to the right are the region’s largest non-government employers. According to the Ore-gon Employment Department, over 75% of firms in the State had nine or fewer employees and the average Oregon firm employed 15 peo-ple in the first quarter of 2010. To an even greater extent than the State, Central Oregon's business environment is typified by innovative, small companies, producing niche-market prod-ucts and services, from semiconductors to soft-ware, medical instruments to recreational equipment. Still, a number of large employers operate suc-cessfully here, tapping into Central Oregon’s ever-expanding workforce, overall low cost of doing business and business-friendly local gov-ernments. Large employers include some dis-tinct groups of employers including: Manufacturing and high technology compa-nies have a long history of success in the re-gion, comprising more than 20% of the 50 larg-est employers. Building products (mostly from wood) continues to be an area of concentration in manufacturing with some of the world’s larg-est molding and millworks production plants op-erated by Bright Wood, Jeld-Wen, Contact and Woodgrain. Tech employers include semicon-ductor manufacturing (Microsemi), precision ti-tanium casting (PCC Schlosser) and pharmaceu-ticals (Bend Research), to name a few. Health care, led by St. Charles Medical Center with two hospital complexes in Bend and Red-mond and two others under management in Madras and Prineville, is a significant employer in the region. Additionally, Bend Memorial Clinic is the largest of nearly 100 private clinics and practices in the area. Overall, the health care sector employs more than 9,500 Central Oregonians. Administrative centers and headquarter operations play a prominent role among top employers and include Les Schwab Tires, T-Mobile, TRG Customer Solutions, Bank of the Cascades, Central Oregon Trucking, and not listed, American Licorice Company. With the largest concentration in the Pacific NW, destination resorts and the visitor industry they support, are important employers in the region. Of the top 15 largest employers, four are resorts, while a total of six make the Top 50 list.

COST OF DOING BUSINESS IN OREGON
Overall, Oregon has a long established national status for being a cost competitive location for busi-ness. Recent rankings include:
Contributing to the rankings is the fact that Oregon has no sales tax, no inventory tax, a single sales factor that benefits large employers with multiple opera-tions, and an affordable property tax system. Average industrial, commercial, and residential power costs nearly half those in California and on average 25% below national averages. With steady in-migration, labor costs are also among the most affordable on the West Coast. In 2011 Oregon's workers’ compensation pure premium rate decreased by 1.8 percent, marking a national record of 21 years without an increase (saving Oregon employers $18.2 billion) and five straight years of de-creases. Workplace safety administration, a far smaller component of workers’ compensation, is increasing and the pure premium rate decrease will be used to offset it. For employers, the net result is that the 2011 charge will remain flat at $1.48 per $100 of payroll.

Over the last decade, jobs in the United States have con-tracted by 1.52%. In a similar pattern, Oregon and its largest MSA, the greater Portland area, have contracted slightly.
Of the Tri-County area, Deschutes County has been the growth driver. Not only has Deschutes County led employ-ment growth in Oregon on a percent basis, but it also tops all other metro areas in the state in terms of sheer number of jobs created.
UNEMPLOYMENT TREND
The chart below from Oregon’s Employment Department provides an historical picture of unemployment in Deschutes County relative to the state of Oregon and the nation. In general, Oregon’s unemployment rate tracks higher than the national rate, while Deschutes County trends above Oregon and shows greater volatility. Because of Central Oregon’s continued in-migration, job creation typically lags population growth. In the most recent recession, unemployment peaked in 2009. Although still high, unemployment is now on a noticeable downward trend. At the sector level, nearly one-half of job losses between 2007, 2008, and 2009 in the Tri-County area were associated with construc-tion, real estate (and related professional services) and manufac-turing. Today, one in four manufacturing jobs in Central Oregon is producing some type of building product, com-pared to 20 years ago when one of every two manufacturing jobs was in wood products. While high unemploy-ment isn’t desirable for the job seeker, it does provide significant ad-vantages to employers seeking a qualified, available workforce.

HOUSING COSTS
Median and Average Home Prices
As with much of the rest of the country, residential prop-erty prices peaked to all-time highs in 2006 and have since seen marked declines. For median home prices, Sun-river has seen the smallest per-centage drop (-27.4%), while Crook County saw prices de-cline 54.3%, the largest per-centage in the region. Speculation fueled a con-struction boom - Bend and Redmond were issuing more building permits than other West Coast cities 10 times larger. Today, the market is finding a new equilibrium, al-though 40% of overall home sales in the past three years have been distressed (short sale or bank-owned), and prices in many areas are still below replacement cost.

Real Estate Valuations
Real Market Value of Tri-County Real Estate (in billions)
In 2010, the rental housing market began to stabilize and prices are now rebounding, particularly at the upper end of the market with single family homes, newer duplexes and three-bedroom apartments. This is due to the unfortunate migration of former homeowners to renters as a result of home foreclosures and short sales. Overall, property management companies report that rental demand is increasing while vacancy rates are decreasing, with the exception of the lower end of the market, one and two bedroom apartments in older complexes, where renters are more price sensitive. We expect to continue to see upward pressure on rental pricing.

VALUATIONS
Financial Institutions
Central Oregon is home to 19 financial insti-tutions (13 commercial banks, 3 savings in-stitutions, and 4 credit unions) which collec-tively have 80 branches in the region. In 2010, the total FDIC-insured deposit base for the region was $2.98 billion, a 4% drop from 2009. As a result of bank takeovers in 2009 and 2010 (JPMorgan Chase acquired all Wash-ington Mutual branches, Home Federal Bank acquired Community First and Liberty Bank branches, and Columbia State Bank ac-quired Columbia River Bank branches) bank ownership in Central Oregon has a higher representation of national institutions. However, only one branch was shuttered as a result of the takeovers. Bank of the Cascades, High Desert Bank, and Mid Oregon Credit Union are headquar-tered in Bend, while South Valley Bank, PremierWest Bank, Umpqua Bank and West Coast Bank are Oregon based. Reflecting higher than average deposit wealth, Central Oregon supports a signifi-cant number of financial planning and in-vestment firms.
UTILITIES SERVING CENTRAL OREGON

POPULATION GROWTH
The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 popu-lation numbers for Central Oregon vary considerably from estimates pro-vided by Oregon’s official population estimator, Portland State University’s Population Research Center. In gen-eral, PSU’s estimates exceed census counts and the variances are largest in Crook County, in Bend and Deschutes County Unincorporated areas. Using either source, population in the Tri-County area surpassed the 200,000 mark with growth exceeding 30%, making the region one of the fastest growing in the nation. Using Census Bureau numbers, Bend con-servatively added nearly 25,000 resi-dents and Redmond 12,700.
AGE DISTRIBUTION
Central Oregon’s age profile is slightly older than that of the U.S; median age for Central Oregon is 39.5 vs. 36.5 for the nation. In the Tri-County area, there is a slightly higher percent over 55, not surprising with the in migration of affluent semi-retirees and retirees. However, each county within Central Oregon has its own age profile. Crook County has the most individuals 65 and older (16.5%) while Jefferson County—the youngest—has the fewest (12.6%) with Deschutes (13.6) falling in between.
In terms of those under 18 years of age, Jefferson has the highest percentage (27.8%) and Crook County (23.5%) and Deschutes (23.0%) have fewer. Jefferson County’s age distribution is influenced by its racial and ethnic composition—of the three coun-ties, Jefferson County has the greatest diversity and its younger population is more likely to be Hispanic or Native American.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 2005-2009, Five Year Estimates. Income inflation-adjusted to 2009 levels.
HOUSEHOLD INCOME
Average household income in the Tri-County area varies; Crook County is at $55,063, Jefferson at $51,799 and Deschutes County at $67,974, yielding a com-posite for the region of $64,926. Family households, which ac-count for nearly 70% of all household types, have higher income but show the same pattern. The regional average family income is $73,695; Crook is at $61,223, Jefferson at $57,054 and Deschutes at $77,763. Income in Central Oregon is usually lower than the
Portland metro area—primarily a result of new residents who migrate to the area for lifestyle reasons, combined with fewer job opportunities than in metro areas, which together create downward pressure on wages.
DIVERSITY
Overall, the Tri-County region has little racial diversity, with 91% of the popu-lation describing themselves as White, and the next significant categories (Native American and Multi race) at 3% each. But as noted under Age Distribution, diversity varies considerably among the three counties. Jefferson County has the most Native Americans, including the city of Madras and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. In terms of ethnicity, which the U.S. Census Bureau counts separately from race, Jefferson County has both the great number and percent of individuals who designate their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino.

Perhaps most significant though is the growth of the Hispanic population from 2000 to 2010 throughout the Tri-County area. In raw numbers, Central Oregon’s His-panic population has nearly doubled in the last decade, growing from just under 9,000 to over 17,000. Redmond saw the largest growth in Hispanics of any large city in Oregon. The Hispanic population is also younger, reflected in the percent of the population under 18 (at right).
EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT
Overall educational attainment in Central Oregon compares favorably with the national profile. The Tri-County area has far fewer individuals who have less than a 9th grade education or have not graduated from high school. Similarly, there are more Central Oregon residents who have attended college or earned an Associates degree. Looking at those with a Bachelor’s degree or higher, Central Oregon is nearly equivalent (26%) to the nation (27%). Educational attainment also varies significantly by county. Deschutes County has the most individuals with a Bachelor’s Degree or higher (29%), making it second in Oregon for college degrees.
Deschutes County’s higher education levels reflect continued in-migration to the area and the concentration of jobs that require a college degree or more. Typically those jobs are found in these key industry sectors: Fi-nancial Activities, Professional & Business Services, Health Services, Information Ser-vices, and Manufacturing. Relative to the U.S. average of graduating High School (29.3%), Crook and Jefferson Counties exceed the national standard at 35.5% and 29.3%, respectively. Con-versely, when looking at the proportion of the adult population which has attained a Bachelor’s degree or higher, Deschutes County at 28.9% exceeds the national aver-age of 27.5%, while Crook County at 15.9% and Jefferson County at 14.1% lag.

EDUCATION Public Schools
Six major public school districts serve over 30,000 Central Oregon students. For the first time in nearly two decades, overall enrollment stayed virtually the same: 30,637 students in 2010 and 30,899 the prior year. For the past 15 years, student enrollment growth has necessi-tated the construction of at least one school an-nually—a remarkable statistic that spans two business cycles. Central Oregon is also home to numerous pri-vate schools, notably:
Waldorf School of Bend (PreK-5) Seven Peaks Elementary School (PreK-8) Saint Francis of Assisi School (PreK-8) Sisters Christian Academy (PreK-8) Trinity Lutheran School (PreK-10), and Cascades Academy (Grades K-12)
The largest school district is Bend-La Pine, with an attendance area spanning more than 1,600 square miles—the seventh largest in the state. Nearly 16,000 students are enrolled in the District’s 28 schools. The District employs more than 1,550; of the 761 teachers, 98.4% meet the state definition for Highly Qualified Teacher. For the five high schools in the District, the average dropout rate during the 2008-09 year was a low 2.1%, below the state average. Within five years of graduation, 90% of Bend-La Pine students will pursue post-secondary education or training. In 2008-09, students were awarded more than $8.4 million in scholarships. Since 2000, students in the Bend-La Pine District have continually scored higher on SAT tests than their peers nationwide or statewide.
Central Oregon Community College (COCC)
Founded in 1949, Central Oregon Community College (www.cocc.edu) was Oregon’s first community college. COCC offers transfer/lower division programs, mirroring the first two years of a university education at a fraction of the cost, plus career and technical education programs to move students into local industry jobs. Enrollment at COCC has increased dramatically with Central Oregon’s growth and more residents returning to school during the recession. COCC provides a variety of courses and programs at its current Bend and Redmond campuses, with addi-tional campuses to come online in Madras and Prineville later in 2011. COCC offers transfer/lower division programs, mirroring the first two years of a university education at a fraction of the cost, plus career and technical education programs to move students into local industry jobs. The Business and Employee Development department delivers industry-specific courses and workshops tai-lored to business and industry’s changing needs. COCC also offers a wide range of continuing education for personal and professional development. Located on the COCC campus, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) provides active support for Central Oregon’s many small businesses. EDCO works closely with the SBDC to provide programs, counsel and market research assistance for entrepreneurs at the earliest stages of development.

Growing Enrollment at COCC & OSU-Cascades
COCC OSU-Cascades COCC headed to OSU
In November 2009, Central Oregon voters passed a $41.8 million bond that enables COCC to expand its geographic footprint in the Tri-County area and to build infrastructure to meet the demands of increasing en-rollment. The bond funds the following projects:
New Madras Campus: an 8,500 SF building is scheduled to open Fall 2011.
New Prineville Campus: a 12,300 SF building, part of the OSU Open Campus initiative, is scheduled to open Fall 2011.
Expansion of the Redmond Campus: A new Technology Education Center is scheduled to open in Fall 2013 and will offer technical course work in a variety of fields, including: Aviation/Aerospace, Manu-facturing/Engineering, Sustainability/Green Jobs, and Graphic/Creative Arts.
Expansion of the Bend Campus: a 45,000 SF Health Careers building provides a new home for all of the college’s health programs; it is scheduled to open late 2011 or early 2012. Concurrently, renova-tions are being made to Ochoco Hall’s classrooms to help meet the needs of expanding enrollment.
Oregon State University – Cascades Campus
Located in Bend, OSU-Cascades features outstanding faculty in degree programs that reflect Central Ore-gon’s vibrant economy and abundant natural resources. Twelve undergraduate majors and three graduate programs, with 25 minors and degree options, include Business Administration, Energy Engineering Man-agement, Tourism and Outdoor Leadership, and Hospitality Management. Additional four year programs that complement Central Oregon’s varied industries are being reviewed and should be online in the coming years. As part of its Hospitality Management program, OSU-Cascades works with Cornell University’s School of Ho-tel Administration, offering executive education courses to hospitality leaders on the West Coast. Considered the world leader among hotel management schools for its undergraduate, graduate and research programs, Cornell has built an international reputation among professional hoteliers and restaurateurs for its executive education program. OSU-Cascades’ partnership with Central Oregon Community College creates a four-year university experi-ence where students take freshman and sophomore courses at COCC and junior and senior courses at OSU. Call 541-322-3100 or visit www.osucascades.edu.
Demand for Higher Education
Enrollment increases, or “demand” for higher education, have been propelled by a variety of reasons: Central Oregon’s growing population base, national economic re-cession, job training and re-training, and gaining traction at OSU-Cascades Campus as program offerings expand and the branch gains in reputation. EDCO works in partnership with COCC and OSU-Cascades, both with Directors serving on EDCO’s Board, to ensure that program offerings align with business needs.

Additional Colleges and Universities
Additional accredited academic institutions have a presence in Central Oregon, typically combining evening and occasional weekend classes in conjunction with distance learning.
Concordia University, which offers an MBA locally (1-866-288-3931) Eastern Oregon University Division of Distance Education (541-385-1137) George Fox University (1-800-631-0921) Linfield College - Central Oregon Center (541-388-2986) Oregon Institute of Technology, Bachelor’s degree in Operations Management, via COCC
TELECOMMUNICATION
Built largely over the last decade, Central Ore-gon’s telecommunications infrastructure is one of the Northwest’s most technologically ad-vanced, meeting business and telecommuting requirements for capacity, redundancy and reli-ability. High-end data services, typically offered only in large metro areas, include Ethernet ac-cess rates up to 10Gb. Several local providers focus purely on the commercial marketplace. Services are delivered to residential and com-mercial customers across a number of access options including land line (copper), high speed fiber optics, and wireless (WiFi, WiMax and se-cure microwave). Many providers offer DSL, ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, and Metro Ethernet services, along with the traditional high capacity TDM services (T1, T3, OCx). All Local Exchange Carrier central offices use digital electronic switches and the entire system is on a redundant, self-healing fiber optic network. In 2010 BendBroadband won a federal broadband infrastructure grant for $4.4M to deploy fiber infrastruc-ture to Madras, La Pine, Sunriver, and Prineville, providing broadband connectivity to the region’s historically underserved areas. The new 132-mile fiber network is comprised of closed or open rings to points of pres-ence in the four cities, OTN network in the middle mile, and a combination of Optical Metro Ethernet and Ge-PON in the last mile. The result will be a comprehensive, regional 40 Gbps fiber ring. With a strong history of investing in cutting edge technology early, BendBroadband’s (BBB) nationally recog-nized reputation for innovation has made Central Oregon a telecommunications oasis, on par with far larger metro areas. In 2009, BBB deployed one of the fastest wireless U.S. broadband networks when it rolled out HSPA+ (speeds up to 15Mbps). Other recent tech accomplishments include launching wideband services (up to 60Mbps) in 2009 and going all-digital in 2008. In early 2011, the company opened its BendBroadband Vault, a data center which offers co-location services to businesses in Central Oregon and beyond. The en-terprise-class data center is LEED certified and staffed with engineering experts to provide professional ser-vices to business customers.
SERVICES
Health Services
Health care is one of Central Oregon’s crown jewels. Attracted to the area for its quality of life, the region has a disproportionately large concentration of outstanding physicians and specialists both within the four-hospital system and in private clinics. St. Charles Health System (SCHS) owns and operates medical centers in Redmond and Bend (Oregon's only Level II Trauma Center east of the Cascades), leases and operates Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Prineville, and provides key management services for Mountain View Hospital in Madras.
Telecom Resources in Central Oregon Carriers & Providers
Over the years, SCHS has become recognized as the primary provider of quality health care for patients living in and around Central Oregon. In 2009, Thomson Reuters rec-ognized St. Charles Health System as one of the best hospitals in the nation in a comprehensive research project: 100 Top Hospitals: Health System Quality/Efficiency Benchmarks Study. SCHS officials are proud to be in a group that includes the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, and other hospitals considered to be in the top 2% of all institutions. Bend Memorial Clinic (BMC) is the largest multi-specialty group east of the Cascades with 400 staff members (including 100 physicians) and 30 service specialties. With the opening of its new facility in Redmond in 2010, BMC has four locations in the region—Bend eastside, Bend westside, Redmond, and a small clinic in Sisters. AirLink Critical Care Transport provides emergency air ambulance service, covering 130,000 square miles in Oregon with its three aircraft. With bases in Bend and La Grande, AirLink responds 24/7 to medical crises in the region’s most remote areas, flying on average four lifesaving missions every day. In addition to a full-time pilot, a critical care nurse and a respiratory therapist with advanced training in heart, trauma and emergency care are aboard each flight, able to provide Level II and III trauma services at a moment’s notice.
MEDIA
Print: The Bulletin is the dominant daily newspaper while local papers cover Madras, Redmond, Prineville, Sisters, and La Pine. Cascade Business News, a bi-weekly business publication, and The Source, an alter-native weekly newspaper round out the print news options.
Radio: Three privately-held companies (Horizon Broadcasting, Bend Radio Group, and Combined Communica-
tions) collectively own 14 radio stations plus there are two independent operators. Spanish language station, Radio La Bronca, entered the market in 2006 to capitalize on the growth of the region’s Latino population.
Television: KTVZ TV 21 is the NBC affiliate, KOHD TV 53 is the Bend bureau for Eugene-based ABC affili-
ate KEZI, KFXO TV 39 is the Fox affiliate, and KOAB TV 3 is the PBS station. BendBroadband airs local origination programming through COTV 11, its community cable channel, which provides in-depth local news, sports and information.
Other: Central Oregon is home to numerous blogs and other news options. Cascade Publications, parent
of Cascade Business News, also publishes Cascade Arts & Entertainment and Cascade Discover.
TRANSPORTATION
Commercial Airport
Serving the entire Central Oregon region, Roberts Field/Redmond Mu-nicipal Airport (RDM) is the North-west’s 16th largest commercial air-port. After a drop in passenger traf-fic in 2009, RDM resumed its growth pattern in 2010. Air service is provided by Alaska/Horizon Air, Delta and United Airlines served by SkyWest, and Al-legiant Air. These carriers offer about 40 flights daily to Denver, Las Vegas, the Phoenix area, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle.

RDM just completed a 3-year $40 million expansion project which increased six-fold the size of the terminal. The airport also serves air cargo and general aviation traffic, including extensive corporate and business travel. General Aviation Airports The Bend Municipal Airport is identified as a Category 2, High Activity Business and General Aviation
airport by the Oregon Department of Aviation. The 5,200 by 75 foot runway is in excellent condition. Re-cent projects include the addition of an east side taxiway completed in late 2010, the improvement of the west side taxi way, and a new airport master plan scheduled for completion by spring 2012. Avgas, jet fuel and aircraft maintenance are offered through the full-time Fixed Base Operator (FBO) on duty.
The Prineville Airport has undergone significant expansion and upgrades in recent years, beginning with a brand-new 3,245 SF terminal where pilots can file flight plans and check weather reports. Over $3 mil-lion in FAA grants allowed the airport to extend the main runway from 5,000 feet to 5,750 feet and widen it from 60 feet to 75 feet. The weight capacity was also increased to 30,000 pounds per wheel, providing better service for larger aircraft, including corporate jets. New hangars are available, along with hundreds of acres of leasable land with direct access to the runway. Avgas, jet fuel and aircraft maintenance are of-fered through the full-time Fixed Base Operator (FBO) on duty.
The Madras Municipal Airport and industrial site is a fast growing Category 4 airport for general avia-tion and business use. The Airport is included in the federal NPIAS (National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems) and has 2,100 acres for aeronautical and industrial use. A new 39,000 SF hangar facility, now leased to Butler Aircraft for the maintenance of fire fighting aircraft, was opened this year. A newly adopted 20 year master plan calls for 1,800 feet of new street and a new ADSB (Automatic Dependant System Broadcast) antenna site. A $2.2 million Connect Oregon III project, expected to be complete in summer 2011, is funding additional navigation aids and runway/taxiway lighting, an automated weather observation system, and new taxiway and ramp improvements.
The Sunriver Resort Airport is a general aviation airport located 17 miles south of Bend and serves
business charter and private pilots. The airport’s 5,500 foot long paved and lighted airstrip is the third busiest in the state and one of the longest private airstrips in the West.
Additional Transportation Services
For air freight, Central Oregon is served by Federal Express, United Parcel Service, and US Postal Service Express mail.
To move motor freight, U.S. Highways 97 and 20, both of which run through Central Oregon, are two of
the state's major trucking routes. The 17+ trucking companies that operate in Central Oregon utilize Hwy 97 to access Interstate 5 (north-south) and Interstate 84 (east-west), reaching the Northwest’s metro ar-eas.
In terms of rail service, Burlington Northern-Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and the City of Prineville Railway
provide direct rail connections for shipping to any market in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Am-trak provides passenger rail service to Central Oregon via the Chemult station, about 60 miles south of Bend on Hwy 97.
For transit within Central Oregon, the merger last year of Cascades East Transit (CET) and Bend Area
Transit created a single regional bus system. Managed by Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), CET provides service within the City of Bend, and between Bend and the following cities: La Pine, Prineville, Madras, Culver, Metolius, Warm Springs Redmond, and Sisters.
Among the most relevant intracity bus options, Central Oregon Breeze, a division of CAC Transportation,
provides service 362 days a year between Bend, Redmond, Madras, Gresham, and Portland. The Breeze connects Central Oregon residents with Amtrak, the MET, and Portland International Airport. TAC Trans-

portation operates two lines important to Central Oregonians making connections: Eastern POINT provides service along Hwy 20 from Bend to Burns and Ontario; similarly, the High Desert POINT provides daily Amtrak thruway service from the Chemult Amtrak station to Sunriver, La Pine, Bend, and Redmond.
TOPOGRAPHY & CLIMATE Every community in Central Oregon has its own variations of temperature and precipitation, relative to its elevation and proximity to the mountains. The re-gion is known for sun, averaging just two weeks fewer sunny days than San Diego, CA. Interestingly, the region lies on one of the nation’s largest rain gra-dients: Redmond receives an average of 8.6 inches of precipitation and is only 60 miles from a region in the Cascades that receives over 120 inches. The geographical climate for Central Oregon is predominately High Desert. Summer temperatures range from an average high of 85° to a low of 44° Fahr-enheit while winter temperatures range from average highs in the 40s to lows in the 20s. Annual precipitation ranges from 8.5 to 20 inches, falling mostly in the form of snow during win-ter months.

Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) is a private, nonprofit membership-based organization dedicated to building a strong and secure economic future for Central Oregon. EDCO was founded 31 years ago in the midst of a significant recession when the region was entirely dependent on the timber industry and many businesses in downtown Bend were boarded up. City leaders recognized the need to develop an organization that would direct and lead efforts to diver-sity Central Oregon’s industrial base. Looking to attract jobs that provide family wage incomes and create addi-tional jobs in the economy, EDCO has focused on what are called traded sector companies. These are companies that make products or provide ser-vices to customers primarily outside Central Oregon and thus, help enlarge our regional economic pie. To most effectively reach Central Oregon's di-verse communities, EDCO operates three satellite offices in addition to its main office.
Focus
Today, EDCO has three key goals:
1. Recruit traded sector employers to the region. Most traded sector employers come from these sectors: manufacturing, technology, and information services.

Central Oregon Community College City of Bend City of Madras City of Prineville City of Redmond City of Sisters Crook County Deschutes County Home Federal Bank Jefferson County Mid Oregon Credit Union OSU-Cascades Campus Pacific Power Qwest Communications St. Charles Health System U.S. Bank
2. Provide substantive assistance to existing Central Oregon compa-nies to retain and grow the region’s existing company base. This involves helping companies expand and increasing their pro-ductivity and profitability.
3. Grow our own local companies by helping its many entrepre-neurs with business planning, access to capital, and access to human talent.
Board of Directors
EDCO is a membership organization, with roughly half of its funding com-ing from public entities (counties and cities) and the other half from pri-vate companies. The organization is guided by a 36-member board drawn from Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties and representing a wide variety of industry sectors.
