Bend, OregOn’s HistOric rOOts

Until the winter of 1824, the Bend area was known

only to native Americans hunters and fishers who thrived off the areas rich streams and lakes and an arid

climate home to bear, elk, mountain lions and deer. Members of a fur trapping party led by Peter Skene Ogden

were the earliest visitors to this beautiful area, followed by John Fremont and other Army survey parties. After

west-bound pioneers came through and forded the Deschutes River at “Farewell Bend”, a small community

developed around the bend in the river, and in 1905 the community was incorporated as a city with

approximately 300 citizens.

Following the Oregon Trunk Railroad completion in 1911, the growth of the vibrant Bend community began.

1914 brought two major lumber companies, and timber became the mainstay of the local economy. Mt.

Bachelor ski area became the catalyst for Bend’s visitor industry, generating industrial and commercial

expansion. Wood products are still Bend’s leading economic factors, with tourism the second largest industry.

Along with other diversified industries, Bend is Central Oregon’s retail hub.

Though the sawmills have long been closed, the lifestyle and vibrant culture of a once booming and still

shining town remains. Today, the old Brooks-Scanlon mill that is “The Old Mill” is humming once again, not

with mills, but with the sounds of people enjoying vibrant shopping, dining and entertainment by day and

night.

Bend’s historic Downtown area, full of art, mouthwatering cuisine and unique artisan shops is bustling with

year-round activities and events. Relax on the grassy Drake Park and listen to free summer music while

indulging in tastes from Bend’s finest restaurants and eats.

Bend prides itself in keeping with a deep-seated tradition of welcoming visitors and newcomers to the historic roots and now vibrant community of Bend, Oregon.

How is tHe weatHer in Bend, oregon?

The weather in Bend is one of the best kept secrets in the state! Bend enjoys the predominately dry climate of

the high desert with an average of almost 300 days of sunshine per year! Sunny days, low humidity, and cool

nights provide the most common weather pattern for the area. Bend is just one of many microclimates located

within Central Oregon that has its own variation of temperature and precipitation relative to elevation and

proximity to the Cascade Mountain Range.

Central Oregon’s weather is typically influenced by storms that come off the Pacific Ocean. These storms most

often bring warmer, moist air. The majority of the mositure is dumped in lowland regions of Western Oregon

in the form of rain and snow in the upper elevations as storm systems hit the Cascades. However, very little of

the moisture makes it into Central Oregon, which helps to create our high desert climate.

The average annual precipitation in Bend is about 12 inches. The average snowfall is 33.8 inches.

Bend’s Average Temperatures

Month High Low January 41ºF 21ºF February 46ºF 24ºF March 50ºF 24ºF April 57ºF 28ºF May 65ºF 34ºF June 73ºF 40ºF July 82ºF 44ºF August 80ºF 43ºF September 74ºF 37ºF October 63ºF 31ºF November 49ºF 26ºF December 43ºF 23ºF

Temperature

Because of Bend’s high altitude and crisp, clear air, evening temperatures average 30° to 40° below the

daytime highs. Evenings are generally cool, even in the summer, requiring sweaters or jackets. Annual

temperature extremes show that only one year out of five has a temperature colder than –17° or warmer than

100°.

Precipitation

Bend’s average annual precipitation is less than 12 inches – over half of which falls between November and

February, often as snow. Brief, and often unexpected, thunderstorms usually provide most of the summer rain.

The average annual snowfall is 33.8 inches. Snow rarely accumulates to more than a few inches in depth nor

lies on the ground for an extended period. Snow depth in Bend exceeds 24 inches in only one winter out of

twenty. At the Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort, 22 miles southwest of Bend, snow normally reaches depths of 160 to

180 inches.

Sunshine

Bend has the highest average number of sunny days in the state. With an average of 158 days clear days per

year and an additional 105 days that are mostly sunny. Many of the remaining days provide substantial

sunshine.

Wind

Surface winds prevail out of the South and Southeast from October to February, then West and Northwest for

the remaining months. Wind speeds average from 5 to 7 mph most months.

Growing Season

Because severe frosts have occurred as late as May 31 and as early as September 1, the general advice is to

plan for a 92-day growing season. Any transplanting of annual bedding plants in Bend before Memorial Day

involves some risk. Some of the lowest minimums on record have occurred during the months of June, July,

and August.

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 telecommunications 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 professionally challenged in a range of industries that might be surprising, 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 HUwww.edcoinfo.comH.

COVERED EMPLOYMENT & PAYROLL, INDUSTRY MIX

Covered employment refers to jobs that are eligible for unemployment insurance, so is a good barometer of wage and sector trends. Note that while most employees are covered, notable exceptions include the self-employed, those who work solely on commission, and some agricultural workers. Wages include commis-sions, bonuses, vacation and holiday pay, but do not include benefits. Below are the number of business establishments (units), employment, payroll, and average pay in the three counties in the region. Average annual pay is the total of all covered wages paid during the year di-vided by the monthly average number of covered jobs during the year.

COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS

Overall, Oregon has a long established national status for being a cost competitive location for business. Con-tributing 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 are nearly half those in California and on aver-age 25% below national averages. With steady in-migration, labor costs are also among the most af-fordable on the West Coast. Shown below, workers’ compensation costs in Oregon remain highly favorable compared to other states. After declining more than 60% since 1990, the “pure” premium is increasing 1.9% in 2012, a change driven by the economy. Additional 2012 changes include a decrease in the workers’ compensation premium assessment, from 6.4% in 2011 to 6.2%, and no change to the Workers’ Fund Benefit Assess-ment, which remains at 2.8 cents per hour. Shown below are business costs for the Tri-County region. Land costs in the region have decreased as much as 50% in the past few years. Costs do vary by community, with Crook and Jefferson Counties having lower lease and construc-tion rates. In Deschutes County, Redmond offers lower land and lease costs than neighboring Bend, reflecting land availability and degree of amenities.

Recent Oregon business rankings are shown at right, including such well regarded organizations as the Brookings Institute, the Kauffman Foundation, and Ernst & Young. In 2010, the most currently available data, the Bu-reau of Economic Analysis (BEA) measured Oregon’s gross domestic product (GDP) at $174.2 billion. The five sectors that contribute the most to the state’s GDP are manufacturing, real estate and rental and leasing, health care and social assistance, wholesale trade and retail trade. Within the BEA-defined region of the nine western-most states, Oregon's GDP has grown over the past five years at a faster average rate than any other state. The same also holds true over the last 10 years. From 2009 to 2010, Oregon's GDP was the fifth fastest growing in the nation (3.4% growth), owing much to its strength in exports, which ex-perienced a 23% increase in the same period. At $17.7 billion, Oregon’s exports account for over 10% of its GDP. GDP for the Bend MSA (Deschutes County), the only county in the region for which statistics exist, was $6.1 billion in 2010, tracking at 3.5% of the state’s GDP.

EMPLOYMENT GAINS IN THE PAST DECADE

From 2001 until 2011, jobs in the nation have grown at an overall rate of 2.1%. All Oregon metro areas surpassed the national job creation average, with the Bend Metropolitan Statisti-cal Area (MSA), which con-sists of Deschutes County, leading the list with an 18.2% increase.

While not growing, Jeffer-son County has not kept pace with the U.S. aver-age. At -2.9%, Crook County has experienced a moderate loss in its job base. Both counties have historically had strong dependence on manufacture of building products, which has been heavily impacted by the 2007-09 recession and persistently low housing starts. The impact in Jef-ferson County has been partially mitigated by gains in agriculture. The most current annual data available is 2011, which does not reflect recent investments and job creation resulting from the data center industry in Crook County. Of the Tri-County area, Deschutes County has been the growth driver. Not only has Deschutes County led employment 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.

HISTORICAL UNEMPLOYMENT

From a historical perspective, Oregon’s unemployment rate tracks higher than the national rate. Deschutes County’s rate trends above that of Oregon and also 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 and now is on a noticeable downward trend (see the following chart that views unemployment for the last 15 months, ad-justed for seasonality). Nearly one-half of job losses in 2007-09 in the region were associated with construc-tion, real estate, professional services, and manufacturing. Twenty years ago, one in every two manufacturing jobs were in wood products, while the corresponding statistic today is one in four. While high unemployment isn’t desirable for the job seeker, it does provide significant advantages to employers seeking a qualified, available workforce.

RECENT UNEMPLOYMENT TREND

The chart at the right provides a recent (15 month) perspec-tive on unemployment in the Tri-County area. While all three Central Oregon counties have high unemploy-ment compared to the state of Oregon and the nation, Crook and Deschutes Counties have reduced their unemployment rates by three to four percent points since January 2011. While lower, Jefferson County has not seen the same degree of improvement. Based on the historical pattern of the Tri-County unemploy-ment running higher than the state of the nation, we are beginning to see structural changes resulting from employment gains.




HOUSING COSTS

Home Prices

Central Oregon has become far more affordable for incoming businesses and residents. As with much of the rest of the country, residential property prices peaked to all-time highs in 2006 and have declined markedly since. In terms of me-dian home price, Sunriver ex-perienced the smallest drop in value (-35%) since 2006, fol-lowed by Bend (-46%), while all other communities experienced greater declines. Local real estate experts note distressed sales now comprise far less of the market than a year ago. While short sales con-tinue to put price pressure on the market, other segments, no-tably traditional sales and bank-owned sales, saw price increases in Q1 2012.

Average Monthly Rent

The Central Oregon rental market began tightening in 2010 and continues to face heightened demand as former home-owners become renters. The vacancy rate of the region’s rental properties stood at 12.4% in 2009; two years later it had shrunk to 5.2%, according to the Central Oregon Rental Owners Associa-tion. Most foreclosures in 2009 and 2010 were purchased and converted to rental units, adding to region’s supply of 4,000+ units. But as additional families come to Central Oregon, demand continues to outstrip supply, exerting pressure on prices. In 2011, two and three bedroom rental units increased more on a percentage basis than apart-ments or duplexes. Property management experts predict overall price increases in the 10 to 12 percent range with low vacancy rates in the 3 to 4 percent range. REAL ESTATE TRENDS Residential building permits are is steadily picking up throughout Central Oregon, as evidenced in the chart to the right. This uptick in permits has con-tinued in the first quarter of 2012. Still, the activity represents about half of the building peak in 2006.

In their quarterly POINTS newsletter, Compass Commercial Real Estate observes that Central Oregon’s com-mercial real estate market correlates closely with the residential sector, albeit with a 6 to 18-month lag. Ab-sorption of Bend’s 2.5 million SF of office space has been slow, with the current vacancy rate at 21.6%. Activity in the industrial market (approximately 5.5 million SF in Bend and Redmond) in has been strong with a positive absorption rate for Q1 2012. Bend’s 14.5% vacancy rate is at its lowest since Q3 2008; Redmond’s 24.2% rate represents three consecutive quarters of positive absorption.

VALUATIONS

Financial Institutions

Central Oregon is home to 19 financial in-stitutions (13 commercial banks, three savings institutions, and four credit unions) which collectively have 79 branches in the region. The total FDIC-insured deposit base as of June 30, 2011 (the most current data available) was $2.69 billion, nearly a 10% drop from the prior year. In April 2012, Washington Federal announced it would acquire South Valley Bank & Trust in its entirety, converting the three branches in Central Oregon to the new financial institution.

Investment Firms

Reflecting higher than average deposit wealth, Central Oregon also supports a significant number of financial planning and investment firms. Many of these firms also provide wealth management for clients nationwide. UTILITIES SERVING CENTRAL OREGON

Electric Companies

Central Oregon providers are: Pacific Power (PPL), 888-221-7070 Central Electric Cooperative (CEC), 541-548-2144 Midstate Electric Cooperative, 541-536-2126

Water System & Rates

Cities in the region have invested in the latest technology for the least environmental impact and greatest savings to residents and businesses. Rates vary between communities in the region. Commercial and in-dustrial rates are typically based on meter size; please contact EDCO for specifics.

POPULATION GROWTH

The large differences in reported popula-tion numbers between the Census Bu-reau and Oregon’s official population es-timator, Portland State University’s Population Research Center (PRC), have now been reconciled. PRC revised its es-timates from last year, bringing them more in line with the 2010 census. In the Tri-County area, Deschutes County and specifically Bend and Red-mond, continue to drive the most growth, matching the annual overall state growth rate of 0.7%. About half of the growth is the result of in-migration. Both Crook and Jefferson County are growing at a slower pace.

EDUCATION

Public Schools

Six major public school districts serve over 31,000 Central Oregon students. For the past several years, enrollment in the Tri-County region was largely flat, but there’s been a modest pickup in student count in 2012. For the past 15 years, stu-dent enrollment growth has necessitated the con-struction of at least one school annually—a re-markable statistic that spans two business cycles. This statistic is indicative of the broad age range of in-migrants to the region. 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. More than 16,300 students are enrolled in the District’s 28 schools. Bend-La Pine employs a total of 1,675 employees; of the teaching staff, 71% have a masters’ degree or higher and 98.5% meet the federal “Highly Qualified” designation.

The District is also proud to have a number of its staff recognized at the state and national level. Earlier this year, the Oregon Association of School Executives named Bend-La Pine Superintendent Ron Wilkinson as the 2012 Oregon Superintendent of the Year. Teaching staff includes Oregon’s Elementary Principal of the Year, Oregon’s High School Principal of the Year, Oregon’s Art Teacher of the Year, Oregon’s Journalism Teacher of the Year, Oregon’s Culinary Teacher of the Year, and a Presidential Award winner for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. For the five high schools in the District, the average dropout rate during the 2009-10 year was a low 1.6%, below the statewide average of 3.4%. Within five years of graduation, more than 80% of Bend-La Pine students will pursue post-secondary education or training. Since 2000, students in the Bend-La Pine District have continually scored higher on SAT tests than their peers, 111 points higher than their peers nationwide.

Demand for Higher Education

The chart to the right shows enrollment for Central Oregon’s post-secondary education institutions over the past six years. The last five years of enrollment increases, or “demand” for higher education, have been driven by several forces: Central Oregon’s growing population base, the national economic recession, and job training and re-training. Additionally, OSU Cascades Campus is gaining in reputation, attracting more students, and expanding its program offerings. EDCO works in partnership with Central Oregon Community College (COCC) and OSU-Cascades to ensure that program offerings align with business needs. Both institutions have top leaders that serve as Directors on EDCO’s Board. Central Oregon Community College (COCC)

Founded in 1949, Central Oregon Community College (HUwww.cocc.edu H) 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. To meet growing demands, COCC has grown extensively the past three years, establishing permanent campuses throughout the Tri-County region. The College now operates cam-puses in Bend, Redmond, Madras and Prineville. COCC’s Business and Employee Development department delivers industry-specific courses and workshops tailored to business and industry’s changing needs. The College also offers a wide range of continuing educa-tion 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. The following significant projects have opened or are nearing completion, largely funded by a $41.8 million bond measure passed in 2009:

New Madras Campus: an 8,500 SF building, opened Fall 2011.

New Prineville Campus: a 12,300 SF building, part of the OSU Open Campus initiative, opened Fall 2011.

Expansion of the Redmond Campus: A new 34,000 SF Technology Education Center is scheduled to open in Fall 2013 and will offer technical course work in a variety of fields, including: Avia-tion/Aerospace, Manufacturing/Engineering, Sustainability/Green Jobs, and Graphic/Creative Arts. It will also house the Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence and Development (CEED) and courses and pro-grams in Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection, Digital Arts and Media and Flexible Technology.

Expansion of the Bend Campus: The Jungers Culinary Center, a new 15,205 SF teaching facility for the College's culinary instructional program – the Cascade Culinary Institute (CCI) – opened to much fanfare in Fall 2011. A 47,000 SF Health Careers building provides a new home for all of the college’s health programs; it is scheduled to open in 2012. A 45,000 SF Science Building will accommodate greater demand for biology, chemistry and engineering courses and will open in August 2012. Addi-tionally, Ochoco Hall has been renovated and Mazama Hall has been expanded to add classrooms.

COCC’s Redmond Campus is home to the region’s Manufacturing and Applied Technology Center, a 26,000 SF technical training facility with certificate and degree programs readying students for nearby jobs in the manufacturing field. The previously mentioned Technology Education Center will be located in the same location, creating greater synergy between the two programs.

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. 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 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-Cascades.

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. With a strong history of investing in cutting edge technology early, BendBroadband’s nationally recognized reputation for innovation has made Central Oregon a telecommunications oasis, on par with far larger metro areas. In 2010 BendBroadband won a federal broadband infrastructure grant for $4.4M to deploy fiber infra-structure to Madras, La Pine, Sunriver, and Prineville, providing broadband connectivity to the region’s his-torically underserved areas. The new 132-mile fiber network is comprised of closed or open rings to points of presence in the four cities, OTN network in the middle mile, and a combination of Optical Metro Ethernet and GePON in the last mile. The result will be a comprehensive, regional 40 Gbps fiber ring.

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. 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 recognized 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. A third major health care group, High Lakes Health Care, has emerged in Central Oregon. Part of a network of companies called Praxis Medical Group, High Lakes has been growing steadily in size and influence with a focus on quality over quantity. With locations in Bend’s Upper Mill area, the Eastside, and Sisters, High Lakes now has over 20 primary care physicians.

TRANSPORTATION

Commercial Airport

Serving the entire Central Oregon region, Roberts Field/Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) is the Northwest’s 16th largest commercial airport. After a drop in passenger traffic in 2009, RDM began to pick up passenger count. Air service is provided by Alaska/Horizon Air, Delta, United Airlines served by Sky West, and Allegiant Air. These carriers offer about 40 flights daily to Denver, , the Phoenix area, Oakland, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle. RDM just completed a three year $40 million expansion project which increased six-fold the size of the ter-minal. The Airport also serves air cargo and general aviation traffic, including extensive corporate and busi-ness travel. Visit 1Uwww.flyrdm.com H for more information.

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 5,260’ by 75’ runway is in excellent condition. Re-







cent projects include the addition of an east side taxiway completed in late 2010, improvement of the west side taxi ways in 2012, and a new airport master plan scheduled for completion by summer 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 million in FAA grants allowed the airport to extend the main runway from 5,000’ to 5,750’ and widen it from 60’ to 75’. 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 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 in 2011. A newly adopted 20 year master plan calls for 1,800’ of new streets and a new Automatic Dependant System Broadcast (ADSB) antenna site. A $2.2 million Connect Oregon III project, completed 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 Ser-vice 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. To reach the Northwest’s metro areas, trucking companies that operate in Central Oregon use Hwy 97 to access Interstate 5 (north-south) and Interstate 84 (east-west).

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, Cascades East Transit (CET) operates the regional bus system,

providing service within the City of Bend, and between Bend and the following cities: La Pine, Prineville, Madras, Culver, Metolius, Warm Springs Redmond, and Sisters. CET is managed by Central Oregon In-tergovernmental Council (COIC). For more information, visit 1Uwww.cascadeseasttransit.comH, call locally 541-385-8680 or toll free 1-866-385-8680.

TRAVEL DISTANCES FROM BEND

With U.S. Highway 97 running north to south through Bend, and U.S. Highway 20 running east to west through Bend, travel to other areas in Oregon is relatively straight-forward. Using either the northern Highway 26 or more southern Highway 20 route, Portland is a three hour drive from Bend while Medford runs about four hours away. Outside Oregon, Seattle can be reached in less than six hours and parts of the Bay Area can be accessed in eight or nine hours. Los Angeles, at nearly 14 hours, tests the outer limit of a day’s drive. COMMUTE TIME

Averaging 20 minutes, drive times in Central Oregon are very manageable. Because the Tri-County area workforce is truly regional, it is not unusual for individuals to drive from Sisters to Bend or Bend to Redmond for work. New resi-dents tend to select their de-sired residential community based on its lifestyle and costs, then find work in the region. Drive time is slightly longer for Crook County and Jefferson County residents—reasonable given the more rural nature and smaller population base of these two counties.

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 gradients: 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. Sum-mer temperatures range from an average high of 85° to a low of 44° Fahrenheit 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 winter months.

ABOUT EDCO Origins

Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) is a private, non-profit membership-based organization dedicated to building a strong and secure economic future for Central Oregon. EDCO was founded over 30 years ago when the timber-dependent region was especially hard hit by the national recession in the early ‘80s. City leaders recognized the need to develop an organization that would direct and lead efforts to diversify Central Oregon’s industrial base. Looking to attract jobs that provide family wage incomes and create ad-ditional jobs in the economy, EDCO has focused on what are called traded sector companies. These are companies that make products or provide services for customers primarily outside Central Oregon and thus, help enlarge the regional economic pie. To most effectively reach Central Oregon's diverse communities, EDCO operates three satellite of-fices 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.

2. Assist existing Central Oregon companies to retain and grow the region’s existing company base. This involves helping companies expand and increasing their productivity and profitability.

3. Grow Central Oregon’s own local company base by helping its many entrepreneurs 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 coming from public entities (counties and cities) and the other half from private 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.
