EDCO works to attract companies from outside the region to relocate to or expand in Central Oregon. This includes offering confidential site selection assistance, providing local market insights, helping businesses navigate local regulations, and coordinating with city, state and county partners. EDCO connects prospects with available workforce and incentives as well as key community partners. The goal is to bring traded-sector companies that generate new revenue and jobs to the region. By aligning business needs with local assets, EDCO helps companies find the right fit for long- term success. Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector businesses than Washington or California. Even without taking those incentives into consideration, Oregon is still a more cost-effective choice for doing business. Connect with EDCO for a detailed look at the available incentives, potential sites and business costs in Central Oregon.
