Independent economic analysis for governments, developers, and businesses in and around Burns, built on Harney County's own data and designed to hold up when a lender or a funder reviews it.
Harney County is the largest county in Oregon by area and one of the least populated, a high-desert ranching economy of cattle and hay centered on Burns, where distances are long and the local market is thin.
In an economy this rural, a project's viability turns on conditions a distant firm will not know. An honest read before capital is committed is worth more here than almost anywhere.
We answer two questions with evidence. Economic impact: what a project brings to Harney 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 Harney 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.
