Independent economic analysis for governments, developers, and businesses in and around Bend, built on Deschutes County's own data and designed to hold up when a lender or a funder reviews it.
Deschutes County, centered on Bend, is one of the fastest-growing counties in Oregon. Its economy has diversified from timber into tourism and outdoor recreation, real estate and construction, breweries and food, and a widening base of professional and remote-work services.
Rapid growth makes the numbers harder, not easier. A new development, a hospitality venture, or a public facility in a fast-changing market needs analysis that models the range of what growth might do, not a single optimistic line.
We answer two questions with evidence. Economic impact: what a project brings to Deschutes County, in jobs, output, and tax revenue, with local leakage handled honestly. Feasibility and viability: whether it should move forward, measured with the same finance a lender runs, including debt-service coverage against the standard floor. We also handle fiscal impact for public budgets and grant applications, and market and cost-benefit analysis for a decision to open, expand, build, or buy.
National firms fly in, bill the travel, and price a county like Deschutes County out of the analysis it needs. We work across the interior West, we can be on-site, and we understand these economies from the inside. Every study is built on the region's measured record from the federal statistical agencies, so the numbers trace to a public source and survive scrutiny.
