PRINEVILLE
AREA PROFILE
Established in 1868, Prineville is the oldest community in Central Oregon and one of the
State’s first incorporated cities. Prineville’s origins are tied to the land in agriculture, forest products, the railroad, and manufacturing.
Community leaders are united in their efforts to grow and diversify Crook County’s
economic base, assuring long-term economic vitality and providing residents with
family-wage jobs.
Visit Prineville and surrounding areas in Crook County and you'll
discover the heritage of a frontier town, the ideals of the area's family
focus, and the pride of a community dedicated to progress.
Apple and Facebook have reshaped the business climate by adding a major high tech presence in Crook County. Facebook has built the most energy efficient data center of its kind in the world, constructing a campus
of nearly 700,000 SF. Over 3,500 construction jobs have been created
over the past four years and Facebook now employs 140 full-time employees in Crook County. Apple recently bought property in Crook County
and began construction on its own data center campus in 2012.
Prineville is also the only city in Central Oregon to permanently cut its sewer
System Development Charges in half, thanks to a new sewer plan. Common
sense planning and affordable permit fees make Prineville one of the most costeffective places to do business in Central Oregon.

CROOK COUNTY OFFERS DIVERSE LOCATION CHOICES
Crook County boasts nearly 2,500 acres of buildable light and heavy industrial-zoned land. Three full-service industrial
parks offer sites from three quarters of an acre up to 54 acres. Two of the largest business parks, Baldwin and Tom
McCall, are easily accessed via Hwy 126 and adjacent to the Prineville-Crook County Airport. Available building space
ranges in size from 1,500 SF to 15,000 SF. Over 2,000 acres of county-owned land located near or on airport property is
available for lease or purchase.
Facebook completed its first-ever wholly owned data center in Prineville in 2011. With over 700,000 SF of building space,
the operation is the most energy efficient data center in the world, taking advantage of Central Oregon’s climate to cool
the servers that provide services to the company’s 1 billion plus users. Nearly 3,500 construction jobs have been created
since January, 2010, with permanent employment at the facility reaching 140 full-time employees. Facebook is playing a
pivotal role in diversifying the local economy, along with Apple’s recent construction of a data center project as well. The
added infrastructure through both of these projects puts Crook County in a great position to serve other high-tech companies.
CROOK COUNTY’S TOP PUBLIC & PRIVATE EMPLOYERS
According to Oregon Employment Department (OED), over 75% of private businesses in the state had nine or fewer employees, while the
average firm employed 14.6 people in 2011 (the latest available data).
In Crook County, the average firm employs just over 8 individuals.
Clearly, smaller companies are more crucial in rural counties and it’s fair to
say that Crook County’s business environment is comprised primarily of
small employers, with a few notable exceptions such as Les Schwab.
In Crook County, wood products manufacturing has historically been the
dominant industry, although steady diversification is underway. Outside
of traditional top public employers such as the city, county, and school
district, the most significant industry clusters in the county are:

Wood products (Contact Industries, Woodgrain Millwork, Pioneer
Cut Stock, Dayspring Hardwood & Moulding, Woodward Companies, and Consolidated Pine)

Data centers (Facebook and Apple)

Warehouse and Transportation (Les Schwab Distribution)

Trucking (Western Heavy Haul & SMAF, Stinger Transport, and
Severance Trucking)

Healthcare (Pioneer Memorial Hospital and Ochoco Village Assisted Living), and
 Regional government service centers for Central and Eastern Oregon (Ochoco National Forest and Bureau of Land Management).
While not listed, agriculture is a major player in Crook County. According to the Census of Agriculture which is conducted every five years,
the 2007 market value of products sold exceeded $31 million, of which
65% was in livestock and 35% in crops.

routinely run at least 20% higher than those in Oregon with Washington wages typically fall in between. Central Oregon
wages typically run 10 to 20% below the statewide averages which are driven by Portland metro area wages. In recent years,
Central Oregon wages in certain technical occupations are on par, or exceed, statewide averages.

COVERED EMPLOYMENT & PAYROLL, INDUSTRY MIX
Covered employment payroll is used to determine the average wage for each of Oregon's 36 counties. Below are the
number of business establishments (units), employment, payroll, and average pay in Crook County and the Tri-County
area. On the following page there is a chart depicting Crook County’s industry mix.
Several long term trends emerge from looking at Crook County’s employment base over the past decade. Total employment peaked in 2007 with 7,180 jobs; current employment of 5,833 is closer to 1990 levels. Employment levels in construction and manufacturing—two sectors closely tied to the woods products demand in housing—are roughly half their
2007 levels. Government employment has been relatively constant.
On the upside, and indicative of a broader market recovery, we are seeing renewed vitality in Private Educational &
Health Services, Leisure and Hospitality, Manufacturing and Construction. Relative to 2011, the number of businesses,
employed individuals, and payroll are up—across the board—in 2013. In fact, all industry sectors show significant gains in
average pay.

COST OF DOING BUSINESS IN CROOK COUNTY
Prineville and Crook County are known for fast-track permitting, flexibility, and common sense planning and permitting fees. This makes Crook County one of the most
cost-effective areas to develop and/or build in Central Oregon.
Local Business Costs in Crook County
Industrial land costs: $1.00 to $5.00/SF
Construction costs: $35+ industrial/warehouse
Leasing costs: $0.20 to $0.30/SF NNN
Source: EDCO Business Research, April 2014
While other Central Oregon communities have been raising System Development Charges (SDCs), Prineville is the only city
to reduce those fees. Unanimously approved by the Prineville City Council, construction of a new wetland sewer system
effectively reduced sewer SDCs by 60%, per EDU (Equivalent Dwelling Unit) to $3,875.
Prineville also boasts several important tax incentives to help businesses with relocation and expansion, including the Enterprise Zone, Rural Renewable Energy Zone, and the Long-term Enterprise Zone, which can provide up to 15-years’ of
100% property tax exemption on new personal and real property investments. Another program available is the Oregon
Investment Advantage, which offers Oregon income and tax exemptions for up to eight years. For more information on
these programs, contact EDCO’s Prineville office at 541-233-2015.

Oregon has a long established national status for being a
cost competitive business location. Recent national rankings, at right, provide evidence of an economy that balances innovation, cost efficiency, and a favorable tax
environment with quality of life.
Contributing 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 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 continued
in-migration, labor costs are also among the most affordable
on the West Coast.

Oregon continues to see steady improvement in its economy, particularly as employment strengthens and is projected to continue to grow, possibly even accelerate. In his
upbeat May 2013 revenue forecast for Oregon, state economist Mark Mueller notes that the three main drags on the
Source: Oregon Business
economy—housing, business and consumer confidence,
and balance sheet positions—are all lessening. Mueller’s
improved outlook calls for increased sales and economic activity throughout the state, not just the Portland metro area.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Overall, premium rates in Oregon have
fallen or increased less than two percent for the past 23 years. In early
2012, Oregon’s premium rates were
th
ranked 13 lowest in the country, according to Oregon’s Department of
Consumer and Business Services. Low
workers’ compensation costs are driven largely by improvements to workplace safety and health, and those improvements continue in Oregon. For
example, occupational injury and illness rate declined 35 percent between
2002 and 2010.
The pure premium rate for 2014 is decreasing by 7.6 percent on average.
(Employers see this change when their
policy renews.) Pure premium reflects
only a portion of workers’ compensation costs but is the key factor behind annual cost changes. The decrease is an average, so an individual employer may see a larger decrease, no change, or even an increase depending on the employer’s
own industry, claims experience, and payroll.

UNEMPLOYMENT TREND
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 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.
Unemployment rates in the first four
months of 2014, while not reflected in
the chart, declined even further, reducing
Crook County’s rate to 10.3%.
HOUSING COSTS
Average Monthly Rent
The Central Oregon rental market began tightening in 2010 and continues to face heightened
demand in the midst of constrained supply. According to the Central Oregon Rental Owners
Association, there are over 4,600 rental units in
Central Oregon. In early spring 2013, only 46
units were available for rent, resulting in a low
1% vacancy rate.

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. In the last year, two and three bedroom rental houses increased more on a percent basis than apartments and
duplexes. Although 2012 prices were somewhat moderated in Deschutes and Jefferson Counties, rental prices in Crook County
were up in 2012.

Home Prices
While Central Oregon still
compared favorably to
most major metros five
years ago, the region has
become even 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, declined, and are now rebounding substantially.
Home prices in Crook
County are among the
lowest in the region, averaging just under $150,000,
with the median considerably below that mark.

Building Permits
Permit Activity in Crook County
Building activity in Central Oregon has not approached the highwater mark of 2006, but showed significant renewed vitality in
2013, although the total valuation of those permits decreased from
the previous year. Most of the commercial and industrial permits
issued were associated with additions to and alternations of existing buildings.
The county is unlikely to see many new permits for industrial property until existing inventory is absorbed. Located by the Prineville
Airport off Highway 126, Baldwin and Tom McCall Industrial Parks
offer industrial buildings with leasable space, and a variety of
vacant lots with infrastructure.

Year
Valuation Detail & Property Taxation
Assessed valuations for both the City of Prineville and
Crook County have declined since a high in 2006/07 and
2007/08, respectively.
After passage of Measure 50 in 1997, Oregon tax rates
were pegged at 90% of 1995 real market values, with an
allowable 3% increase each year. New development also
factors into this three percent increase cap such that
faster growing communities can have lower effective
tax rates on all property. This change factor, called the
Change Property Rate (CPR), adjusts annually.
The City of Prineville’s overall property taxation rates
have remained very stable over the past decade, varying
less than one half of one percent.

EDUCATION
Public Schools
The Crook County School District operates four elementary schools, two charters schools
(Powell Butte & Insight), one middle school, one high school, and one alternative high
school. Students at Rimrock and COIC count in the District's enrollment, but are managed
by independent contractors. Voters passed in May 2013 a $30 million bond to construct a
new elementary school and provide upgrades to existing infrastructure.
Providing an alternative to standard public school education, the Powell Butte Charter
School gives personal and community oriented education to area elementary and middle school students. The high school offers a variety of dual-enrollment and AP courses
that offer students the opportunity to earn college credit while still enrolled in high
school. The District also offers professional technical programs, fine arts, and foreign
language programs.

Private Schools
 Crook County Christian School (CCCS) is a private, Preschool-8th grade Christian School located in Prineville. CCCS
was founded in 1994 and currently has 70 students. For more information about CCCS, call 541-416-0114.
Central Oregon Community College (COCC)
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 person and professional development.
Enrollment at COCC has increased dramatically, doubling in the last few years as increasing numbers of area residents
turned to the College for education and training during the recent economic downturn. A record number of students
have been earning certificates and degrees then transferring to four-year colleges and universities or moving into jobs locally using skills learned in the career and technical education programs.
The Central Oregon Community College District encompasses all of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties, as well as
the southern part of Wasco and northern portions of Klamath and Lake counties. A seven-member board of directors
governs the College, with members of that board elected from geographic zones in the District. The District covers a
10,000-square-mile area, making it larger than eight of the U.S. states.

The 200-acre Bend campus includes 26 buildings with a total of 575,000 square feet under roof. The newest buildings are
the Jungers Culinary Center, funded primarily by private donations and opened in 2011, and the Health Careers Center
and Science Center, funded by a voter-approved bond measure, both opening in fall 2012.
Open Campus – Crook County
The COCC Crook County Open Campus is a collaborative partnership between Crook County, COCC and OSU Open Campus-Crook County. Offerings through COCC included courses counting toward a degree and classes in English language
learning, GED preparation and a wide range of personal enrichment activities. Opened in 2011, the campus was funded by
a Department of Labor grant to Crook County and a bond measure for COCC passed by local voters. It is built on land donated by the County. This past fall, the College offered 16 credit and 20 noncredit course in Prineville with more than 300
students taking classes. For more information: www.cocc.edu/prineville or 541-447-9233.
Manufacturing and Applied Technology Center (MATC) / Technology Education Center
Just 17 miles from Prineville is the Manufacturing and Applied Technology Center (MATC) at COCC’s Redmond Campus.
The MATC is a 26,000 SF state-of-the-art technical training center which offers certificate and degree programs readying
students for jobs in the manufacturing field. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2014, COCC’s new $12.5 million Technology
Education Center will further serve Central Oregon’s business and workforce needs at the Redmond Campus. This 34,000square-foot facility, planned and developed with industry participation, will house the Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence and Development (CEED) and courses and programs in Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection, Digital Arts and Media and Flexible Technology.
Oregon State University – Cascades Campus
Founded in 2001, OSU-Cascades currently offers only upper-level and graduate courses in a unique partnership with Central Oregon Community College in which students typically took lower-division courses at COCC. The two institutions
share a beautiful, 200-acre campus on the northwest side of Bend. Students who take advantage of this partnership pay
about 25 percent less in tuition and fees than they would at a traditional university. Offering small class sizes, OSUCascades students may choose from 13 majors and more than 25 degree options (including Business Administration, Energy Engineering Management, Tourism and Outdoor Leadership, Hospitality Management and, in Fall 2013, a Computer
Science degree).
As part of its Hospitality Management program, OSU-Cascades works with Cornell University’s School of Hotel 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.
An initiative to transform OSU-Cascades into a four year university has gained strong community support as well as the
endorsement of Governor Kitzhaber and the Oregon University System, resulting in the campus expansion being placed
near the top of a list of 30+ higher-education projects. The four-year university would be funded by $4 million from the
community, $16 million from the state and $4 million in campus funds; as of the publication date of this Profile, prospects
for approval by the Oregon Legislature in 2013 look very promising. If approved, plans call for enrollment to double from
1,000 to 2,000 by the year 2015.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (SDCs)
While most communities across Central Oregon are increasing their SDCs, the Prineville City Council slashed wastewater
SDCs in half by adopting a new wetland treatment facility. Besides saving money and increasing the City’s capacity to deal
with wastewater, once complete the project will also serve as a community park with trails and bird watching opportunities. This project shines light on the City’s business-friendly approach to development by cutting the wastewater SDCs on
a single family home from $9,147 to $3,875.

Averaging just 20 minutes,
drive times in Central Oregon
are very manageable. With a
truly regional workforce, it is
not unusual for residents to
drive from Prineville to
Madras or Bend to Prineville
for work.
New residents tend to select
their desired community
based on its lifestyle and cost,
and then find work in the region. While average drive
time is slightly longer for
Crook County and Jefferson
County residents (understandable given their more
rural nature), the commute
for those who live and work in
Prineville is negligible.
