Central Oregon Economy Strong

BEND REDMOND, OR -- The Great Recession years were tough for Deschutes county but obviously things have greatly improved. Bruce Barrett with Windermere Commercial Real Estate says he is often asked about how our area will do if we get hit with another economic downturn. He says we are better prepared for a downturn now than between 2008 and 2011. Barrett says the reason we are more economically resilient now is due to land and natural resources…labor…capital investment…and, entrepreneurship.  Barrett says Redmond  has 940 acres of land that was donated late last year and is suitable for industrial development, making the area attractive to large manufacturing companies.
