Why La Pine / Sunriver?
Project Ready Industrial-Property
La Pine boasts a large (330 acre) publicly owned Industrial and Business Park. Land parcels in the Park range in size from 1/4 acre to 40 acres and are shovel-ready for building complete with in-place curbside water, sewer, and power. The park is home to a Midstate Electric Cooperative Substation with some of the lowest industrial power rates in Oregon. Currently, there are no transportation or Park & Recreation system development charges.
Qualified Regional Workforce
As part of the Bend-Redmond MSA, La Pine is an ACT Work Ready community with work force approaching 90,000. Central Oregon Community College and Oregon State University Cascades offer degree programs in Computer Science, Energy Systems Engineering, Hospitality Management, Tourism and Outdoor Leadership, Aviation Unmanned Aerial Systems, and Manufacturing Technology.
