Prineville

Prineville is home to two Fortune 50 data centers, Meta and Apple, with the Meta campus being its flagship data center and largest in its fleet. These large industrial developments inspired the engineering of the award-winning Crooked River Wetlands project and Aquifer Storage and Recovery project to support sustainable water and wastewater needs locally. Prineville is one of the few cities in Oregon with 80+ acre sites available at some of the most competitive land and utility prices in the West, along with long-term incentives that help make large scale projects a reality.

The Crook County School District boasted a 98% graduation rate for the Class of 2023, leading the region in Central Oregon. Crook County High School continues to expand its Career Technical Education (CTE) programs in health sciences, culinary arts, manufacturing/engineering, natural resources and more. Central Oregon Community College and Oregon State University Extension share an open-campus in Prineville, offering both credit and non-credit courses. Baker Technical Institute’s first satellite campus in Prineville is a leading provider of CTE programs focused on developing the next generation of skilled workers, technology innovators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders in rural areas.

Prineville has its own municipally-owned short line railway, connecting to the BNSF Railway and Union Pacific main lines, complimented by the Prineville Freight Depot. The City of Prineville Railway offers a regional multi-modal transportation hub that provides the Central Oregon region with transload, reload, storage, and managed distribution services. The Prineville Airport is conveniently located on Highway 26, connecting to U.S. Highway 97, and offering on-site aircraft maintenance, fuel service, hangar space for sale or lease, and buildable acreage, both airside and landside, for general aviation/aerospace operations or manufacturing.
