Redmond
Ideally situated at the crossroads of Central Oregon, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and world-class outdoor activities, Redmond takes pride in its business-friendly reputation, authentic small-town charm and family-friendly community. Renowned as the local “hub of manufacturing” with a diverse and robust industry mix and growing regional airport with direct flights to many major cities, no wonder it is the center of a thriving Central Oregon region.

Why Move Here?
Oregon has earned its reputation nationally for being a cost-competitive location for business. Recent national rankings reflect an economy that balances innovation, cost-efficiency and a favorable tax environment with quality of life. Notably, 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.
There is no question that Central Oregon has become an attractive place to live and work, as the region continues to experience a steady in-migration of people from all over the country. Centrally located within the region, Redmond draws on its workforce from all communities within Central Oregon. This provides greater diversification and a broader talent pool when it comes to recruiting and retaining employees to grow your business.
Redmond companies ship their goods with ease to local, national and international markets through a robust transportation network of air, freight and rail services. Centrally located in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) offers daily nonstop flights to many major cities, allowing executives and professionals to travel to anywhere in the U.S. and beyond. Whether you are a manufacturer or a services firm, connecting to your customers and suppliers is easy and cost-effective from Redmond.
