Why Move Here?

La Pine offers a diverse mix of commercial and industrial business opportunities featuring a 330-acre industrial and business park east of U.S. Highway 97 with direct access to the BNSF Railway. The park is an ideal host to industries in advanced manufacturing, high technology, specialty food and beverage, and data center operations. Just to the north, Sunriver has a thriving business park and upscale alpine homes, along with a world-class resort with conference facilities.

U.S. Highway 97 which runs from Northern California to the Canadian border bisects La Pine and South Deschutes County. The BNSF Railway is also nearby, running parallel to the highway. Sunriver Resort Airport, located in the heart of the critically acclaimed resort, serves a wide range of aircraft from small private planes to corporate jets. With a recently upgraded and refinished 5,500-foot-long paved and lighted airstrip, the airport is the third busiest in the state and boasts one of the longest private airstrips in the West.

With a growing industrial park and new business incubator underway, La Pine offers a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem to engage startups and connect them to regional and statewide resources. Companies can take advantage of Enterprise Zone abatements and multiple incentive programs at the local, regional, state, and federal levels.

“When we relocated our engineering firm to Deschutes County the EDCO team was incredibly helpful.  They assisted us with finding our new office space and provided invaluable support as we navigated the paperwork to pursue various tax incentive programs.  Since our move they have been extremely supportive with finding new employees and connecting with various business services in the area.  Central Oregon has proven to be an excellent place to base our business.”

“Uncertainty and change are a part of the landscape for a small business owner and Patricia Lucas at EDCO / SLED is my go-to 'problem solver' when the inevitable curveballs are thrown. She helped us find a new location for our business and is the reason we were able to keep our business in La Pine.”
