Set in the open expanses of the Central Oregon high desert, Jefferson County is home to vibrant communities and prominent traded-sector businesses. The City of Madras is the closest community in Central Oregon to the Port of Portland, offering a transportation advantage.
Jefferson County is rich in natural resources, including abundant ultra-pure water, wood products, jetty-quality basalt and is the largest agricultural producer in Central Oregon.
The County is also home to several well established specialty manufacturers. Low-cost utilities and a productive workforce make the area a prime location for business.
Education is important in the County. Voters have historically passed bonds and recently built the Madras campus of Central Oregon Community College, a new 600 seat performing arts center, a new sports complex and a new K-8 school in Warm Springs.
Jefferson County is known for its livability, affordability, community spirit and rich mix of cultures. Family fun amenities include an airshow, water and snow skiing, aquatic center, camping, boat races, drag strip, circle track, skateboard facility and more. Homes are very affordable and community leaders welcome new businesses with their friendly “can do” attitude.
Jefferson County’s landscape offers snow-capped mountains, rivers, lakes and high desert plains. While each of Jefferson County's five communities—Madras, Metolius, Culver, Warm
Springs and Crooked River Ranch—are unique, all share a common desire for a vibrant future.

Covered employment refers to jobs that are eligible for unemployment insurance and, as such, is a good barometer of wage and sector trends. While most employees are covered, notable exceptions include the self-employed, those who work solely on commission, and some agricultural workers. Wages include commissions, bonuses, vacation and holiday pay, but do not include benefits. Total payroll dollars, number of employees, and average pay are shown in the adjacent table for both Jefferson County and the Tri-County region.
In the private sector, Manufacturing is the strongest employment segment in
Jefferson County with 15% of total payroll dollars. That’s three times greater than the Tri-County region as a whole. The next largest private sector segment is Natural Resources &
Mining with 6% of payroll dollars.
Compared to the Tri-County region,
The Government sector plays a far more dominant role in Jefferson
County’s economy than in Deschutes or Crook County, a reflection of the influence of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, as the bulk of tribal jobs fall in this category. Conversely, the Leisure & Hospitality sector is far less dominant role than in Crook or
Deschutes County.

Oregon has a well-deserved, long established national status for being a cost competitive location for business. A major contributing factor to the Oregon advantage is the fact that Oregon has no sales tax, no inventory tax, a single sales factor that benefits large employers with multiple operations, and an affordable property tax system.
Average industrial, commercial, and residential power costs are 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.
Perhaps one of the greatest assets in Oregon is the structure of how corporations are taxed known as the Single Sales
Factor. The tax rate on corporate income of firms doing business in the state is the greater of a minimum tax based on relative sales ($150-$100,000, approximately 0.1%) or an income-based levy of 6.6% on amounts up to $10 million and
7.9% above that. Oregon businesses are taxed on a portion of their total income derived from sales within the state. This corporate income tax is considered "Singe Sales Factor" tax, as it only considers Oregon sales in determining corporate income taxes owed to the state. Other states often include additional assets and payroll, making them "multi-factor" taxes.
Attempting to understand all cost factors in different states and how those impact your specific business can be a daunting task. Some cost factors such as the efficiency and approach of regulatory oversight (i.e. implementation of federal
EPA rules) can be dramatically different from state to state but virtually impossible to place a dollar value for comparison purposes. The table below attempts to provide, in summary form, a framework by which to inventory and compare costs for a manufacturing company with 20 employees and one with 200 employees. This example does not factor or include cost savings offered by incentive programs in either state. Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector businesses than Washington and California combined.

In 2014, workers’ compensation costs will decrease an average 7.6 percent as a result of lower medical costs and fewer and smaller claims for lost wages. The “pure premium” is the portion of the premium employers pay insurers to cover anticipated claims costs for job-related injuries and deaths. State officials attribute the decrease to a focus on improving worker safety, getting injured workers treated and back on the job quickly, as well as the initial impact of medical cost control strategies.
Workers’ compensation costs in Oregon remain highly favorable compared to other states. The “pure premium” rate has either remained the same or decreased for 22 of the past 24 years – making this cost among the lowest in the country for employers.

Historically, Oregon’s unemployment rate tracks higher than the national rate. 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, positive downward trend.
The chart to the right provides a threeyear perspective on unemployment in the Tri-County area. Since early 2010, unemployment rates have been reduced significantly, lending credibility to structural changes resulting from employment gains.
While not on the chart, unemployment rates in the first quarter of 2014 showed further progress, taking Crook
County’s rate to 10.8%, Jefferson County’s rate to 9.7%, and Deschutes County’s rate to 8.4%, its lowest level since 2008.

As in-migration to Central Oregon continues, demand for rental housing outstrips supply, exerting pressure on prices and generating growing interest in multi-family residential construction, particularly in Bend and Redmond.
In the last year, two and three bedroom rental houses increased more on a percentage basis than apartments and duplexes.
Despite very low vacancies, 2013 average prices for a 3 bedroom home were down slightly from 2012 in all Central Oregon communities according the most recent annual survey. Our expectation is that 2014 annual rental figures to be up sharply in
Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Sisters amidst strong in-migration and near record low vacancies.
Jefferson County has historically tracked lower in rent than adjacent counties. Because of this, housing in Jefferson County is particularly affordable.

Voters in the Culver School District also passed a multi-million dollar bond to build a new elementary school and upgrades on current facilities. Construction is underway in 2014. The Culver District operates on one campus with an elementary, middle school and high school that offer small class sizes and a close connection between students of all ages. Culver
High School has a high graduation rate, 100 percent in the 2012 – 2013 school year .
Both Culver and Madras High Schools have launched internship programs in partnership with local businesses where high school students work with business professionals to get an in-depth knowledge of career opportunities in over 20 focus areas. With this exposure, students are better able to plan their course studies and advanced education needs.
Central Oregon Community College (COCC) – Madras Campus
In late 2011, through yet another voter approved bond, the COCC Madras Campus opened with an initial enrollment of
230 students the first term. Enrollment continues to grow as do the variety of classes offered. With spectacular views of the Cascade Mountains, COCC Jefferson County Open Campus is a collaborative partnership between the Jefferson County Education Council, COCC and OSU whose mission is to build and grow the continuum of education from K-12 through all levels of higher education.

Demand for Higher Education
The populace of Central Oregon has a strong interest in pursuing higher education and improving their vocational skills. The chart to the right shows enrollment for OSU-Cascades over the past 12 years. The last few 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

Central Oregon Community College (COCC) operates campuses in Bend, Redmond, Madras and Prineville. Founded in
1949, COCC (www.cocc.edu, 541-383-7700) is Oregon’s oldest community college. The College 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 Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is operated by COCC and provides active support for Central Oregon’s small businesses. EDCO works closely with the SBDC to provide programs, counseling and market research assistance for entrepreneurs at the earliest stages of development.
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 education for personal and professional development.

General Aviation and Industrial Park
A center for business activity in Jefferson County, the Madras Airport exemplifies the opportunities that abound in Jefferson County. The Madras Municipal Airport and industrial site is a rapidly growing Category 4 airport for general aviation and business use. The Airport is poised for more development with newly added upgrades to the navigational systems, a
5100’ main runway, flat open industrial land with utilities, and a runway rebuild scheduled for 2015. A grass runway will also be constructed at the Airport in 2015. The Madras Airport is included in the federal National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and has 2,100 acres for future aeronautical and industrial use. The Madras Airport is also home to the annual Airshow of the Cascades, with crowds of over 10,000 attending each August.
A new 40,000 SF hangar facility is leased to Erickson Aero Tanker, LLC as their base for maintenance and operation of firefighting aircraft, MD87s and DC7s. The Erickson Group expanded their Madras operations in 2014 with an additional
65,000 SF hangar and the opening of the Erickson Aircraft Collection in August, housing one of the world’s largest private collections of war birds.
