PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

• More and more, professional services are exported out of the tri-county region including engineering, architecture, accounting, HR and recruitment, creative services, marketing, advertising, and publishing among others.

• The creative, marketing and advertising subsectors of this industry are particularly strong in Central Oregon with firms providing world-class services in a variety of industries.

Technology

• Including software companies, electronics manufacturers, alternative energy R&D and production, and data centers, the region has over 130 tech companies employing nearly 3,000 people.

• Five dozen software companies call the region home, more often than not locating their headquarter operations here.

• Prineville has a growing national data center hub, home to Facebook’s largest U.S. data center campus (4.6 million square feet and growing) and Apple across the street, due to the innovative infrastructure, affordable industrial land, multiple telecom carriers for redundancy, desert climate for optimal efficiency, and globally compeitive tax incentives.
