The region encompasses dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges to high desert plateaus within the coun- ties of Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson. Central Oregon has led the state’s population growth over the last two decades; in fact, Deschutes County is among the fastest growing areas of the country over the past year. A lesser known fact is that our region has also topped the state in job growth over the past year and over the past ten years, creating a region that's characterized by dynamic small businesses and entrepreneur- ial activity. The region boasts strong clusters in high technology (software, hardware and energy), advanced manufacturing, biosciences, renewable energy, brewing & distilling, and recreation equipment. For most new residents, Central Oregon is a lifestyle choice, offering a friendly environ- ment, year round recreation options, and world class amenities—all with the benefits of a hassle-free, small town feel. From a ranch in Prineville to an upscale urban condo in Bend, and the range of options in between, the region presents a rare diversity of places to live— all with an easy commute to work. For a relocating business, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies. The re- gion has some of the lowest operating costs in the Pacific Northwest, without sacrifice in human talent, quality health care, transportation or telecommunications infrastructure. What sets Central Oregon apart from other lifestyle cities like Aspen/Vail, CO; Sun Valley, ID; Jackson Hole, WY or Lake Tahoe is that it’s filled with middle-class working people who are not escaping from the rest of the world, but building and living their dreams here. Dreams of a quality education for their chil- dren. Dreams of launching their own business. Dreams of short commutes and breathtaking land- scapes. Dreams of interesting, challenging work without the big-city hassle. TOP EMPLOYERS & INDUSTRIES According to the Oregon Employment Department, over 75% of Oregon firms have nine or fewer employees and the average firm employs 15 people. Recent research released by Dun & Bradstreet and American Express said that 99.1% of businesses in Oregon were less than $10 million in revenues. To an even greater extent than the state, Central Oregon's business environ- ment is typified by innovative, small companies, producing niche-market products and services. Still, a number of large employers operate successfully here, tapping into Central Oregon’s ever-expanding workforce, overall low cost of doing business and business-friendly local governments. Year over year, the region’s Top 50 Private Employers collectively added 1,100 jobs, and thereby employed nearly 20,000 Central Oregonians. Large employers include some distinct groups including: Advanced Manufacturing Bioscience (pharmaceuticals, medical device) Brewing & Distilling (craft beer, cider, spirits, tea) Building Products (doors, windows, molding, furniture) High Technology (electronics, software, data centers) Outdoor Gear & Apparel Healthcare is led by St. Charles Medical Center, the largest private employer in the region. St. Charles owns and operates hospitals in Bend, Redmond Madras, and Prineville. Additionally, Bend Memorial Clinic is the largest of nearly 100 private clinics and practices in the area. Overall, the health care sector employs over 10,000 Central Oregonians. Headquarter operations play a prominent role among top employers and include Keith Manufacturing, Les Schwab Tires, Bank of the Cas- cades, Deschutes Brewery, 10 Barrel Brewing and Administrative/ call centers including Consumer Cellular, IBEX Global and Navis are also among the largest private employers in the tri-county area Employment in tourism and hospitality reflects the importance of this sector to the region. Central Oregon has the largest concentra- tion of destination resorts in the Pacific Northwest and includes Riverhouse convention center, Sunriver Resort, Mt. Bachelor, Eagle Crest (Resort Acquisition Partners), Kah Nee Ta Resort, and Indian Head Casino.

    The City of Bend, Oregon Bend Picture Montage ©2006 Teresa Krafft / Krafft Design History What is now Bend, Oregon was known only to Native Americans until the winter of 1824. It was then that Peter Skene Ogden’s fur trapping party became the first non-native visitors to the region. John Fremont and other army survey parties followed soon thereafter, as did caravans of pioneers who forded the Deschutes at a bend in the river known as “Farewell Bend”. A small community grew up around that historical crossing, and the City of Bend was officially incorporated in 1905, boasting a start-up population of 300. In addition to being a service and retail center for the area, agriculture and horse and cattle ranching were also staples of the early Bend economy. In 1909, two competitive railroad barons, E.H. Harriman and James J. Hill, entered into a multi-million dollar battle to see who would first lay the track to Bend. In 1911, Hill’s Oregon Trunk Railroad was completed, providing a short cut for rail freight from Northern California to the Columbia River. With the stimulus of the railroad, two large Minnesota based lumber companies (Brooks-Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon) built mills in Bend in 1914, and timber became the mainstay of the local economy. Bend continued to grow and became increasingly reliant on the timber industry until the mid 1970’s when tourism began to change the face of the town. Still, it wasn’t until the 1980’s that timber as a mainstay in the City’s economic diet, became a thing of the past.

The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within the counties of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson. Central Oregon has led the state’s population growth over the last two decades; in fact, Deschutes County continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of the country. A lesser known fact is that our region has also topped the state in job growth over the past year and over the past ten years, creating a region that's characterized by dynamic small businesses and entrepreneurial ac- tivity. The region boasts strong clusters in high technology (software, hardware and energy), advanced manufacturing, biosciences, renewable energy, brewing & distilling, value-added food products, and recreation equipment. For most new residents, Central Oregon is a lifestyle choice, offering a friendly environ- ment, year round recreation options, and world class amenities—all with a hassle-free, small town feel. From a ranch in Prineville to an upscale urban condo in Bend, and all the options in between, the region presents a rare diversity of places to live, all with an easy commute to work.
