A Great Place to Hang Your Hat
Crooked River Ranch Club and Maintenance Association Crooked River Ranch was developed by Bill Macpherson in 1972 as a destination resort. In 1973 on November 15th the first meeting of the Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association (CRR) was established, and a year later the new clubhouse and pool with the first 9 holes of the golf course were built. In 1980 CRR was re-zoned from recreational to rural/residential. In 1992 final re-zoning took place, making CRR a residential subdivision. The properties are divided into 1, 2, and 5 acre lots. The Ranch itself is divided into 16 phases. There are also numerious commercial properties/businesses near Admin. building and on Commercial Loop. Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association is a nonprofit corporation consisting of 2,646 properties. It is now the largest homeowner's association in Oregon, having grown to over 5000 in population. It is considered as becoming the largest subdivision of its kind. It employs over 25 people and utilizes many volunteers to keep our owners and guests satified during their stay on the Ranch. As with all Home Owners Associations, dues are collected to assist in maintaining the common properties, which the association owns. Dues are collected bi-annually. With dues comes use of the pool, tennis, and discounts on golf (18 hole course), ball field, arena and other amenities. The nine member association Board of Directors meets monthly, which all home owners are welcome to attend. There is also an annual meeting usually around Labor day.
Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association has developed its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Each phase has its own Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions.

2025 JEFFERSON COUNTY ECONOMIC PROFILE
BRENNA FULKS, JEFFERSON COUNTY AREA DIRECTOR BRENNA@EDCOINFO.COM 541.325.0315 705 SW Bonnett Way, #1000 Bend, OR 97702
JEFFERSON COUNTY OVERVIEW
Jefferson County is increasingly recognized as a key contributor to Central Oregon’s economy. As part of the Bend Redmond metropolitan area, the county is anchored by its seat in Madras, which offers exceptional growth potential thanks to its strategic location, ample industrial land, and strong infrastructure. The Madras Municipal Airport and its adjacent industrial park support major employers such as Erickson Aero Tanker and Daimler Trucks North America. Just 40 minutes away, Redmond Municipal Airport enhances regional connectivity with direct flights to 13 major destinations. The county’s natural beauty, including the Cascade Mountains, Lake Billy Chinook, and the Crooked River Gorge, and the communities of Crooked River Ranch and Camp Sherman, attracts both visitors and new residents. These destinations support a robust hospitality and recreation sector, with popular activities such as hiking, boating, and fishing. Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Jefferson County’s economy, supported by a favorable climate and irrigation from the Deschutes River. Alongside traditional farming, sectors such as aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and value-added food production are experiencing steady growth, helping to diversify the local economy. Jefferson County is also home to the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, whose reservation spans more than 1,000 square miles in the western portion of the county. The Tribes contribute significantly to the region’s cultural richness, economy, and natural resource stewardship, and are vital partners in the county’s long-term development. The communities of Culver and Metolius further enrich the region. Culver is a family-friendly city known for its excellent schools, parks, and community amenities, making it an attractive place to live and raise a family. Metolius offers a rich history and a strong sense of community, with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere that reflects the county’s deep-rooted values. Together, Madras, Culver, Metolius, and Warm Springs make Jefferson County a dynamic and welcoming place to live, work, and invest at the gateway to Central Oregon.

COMMUNITY & BUSINESS ASSETS
Recent investments in education and family support are strengthening Jefferson County’s foundation for long-term growth. The expansion of Central Oregon Community College’s (COCC) Madras campus is scheduled for completion by winter term 2026, increasing access to higher education and workforce training for local residents. As part of its broader community support efforts, COCC has also added more childcare slots, helping meet the needs of working families. Both Madras High School and Culver High School offer Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, preparing students for careers in skilled trades and high-demand industries. Housing across Jefferson County remains attainable and diverse, with options available for a range of income levels. Home values are significantly more affordable than in neighboring Deschutes County. Communities such as Madras, Culver and Metolius are seeing increased residential development, including preplanned subdivisions and new housing inventory that support the county’s steady growth.
GEOGRAPHIC ACCESSIBILITY
Jefferson County is centrally located in Oregon, offering excellent access to major transportation routes and regional hubs. Just over two hours from Portland via U.S. Routes 26 and 97, the county is easily reachable for freight, commerce and travel. Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM), 40 minutes south of Madras, provides daily direct flights to 12 major markets including Seattle, Denver, and San Francisco. A $117 million terminal expansion begins in summer 2025 to meet growing demand and enhance capacity. Jefferson County’s highway network, including U.S. 97 and State Routes 361 and 293, ensures efficient movement of goods and people. The county also benefits from its proximity to Bend, the largest city in Central Oregon, located less than an hour away. As a regional economic and workforce hub, Bend provides access to a broader labor pool and amenities while Jefferson County offers lower costs, available land, and a business-friendly environment.

Welcome to Central Oregon Where the commute times are short and breathtaking views await you at every turn. The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties. Located halfway between San Francisco and Seattle, one of the hottest small metropolitan markets in the U.S. is Central Oregon. In the last decade the region has seen some of the highest sustained GDP growth, job and population growth. This year, the Milken Institute ranked the Bend-Redmond region in the top 5 of its Best Performing Small Cities study. The report noted growth of the region’s concentration of high-tech industry and robust broadband access as key strengths for the ranking. Central Oregon is pulling extraordinary talent and capital, fostering a diverse and highly entrepreneurial business ecosystem. Deschutes County received the most investment in Oregon in 2022, according to SmartAsset. Lured by natural scenic beauty and big city amenities without big city commute times, people are learning that having a true work-life balance is possible. Employees are happier and companies are more innovative and capital-efficient. Although domindated by small to mid-sized firms, Central Oregon brands compete globally and win.

“While our move to Central Oregon may have started for personal reasons, it has allowed us to do more with our business than we thought possible. It has allowed us to hire amazing employees – the available talent here in Central Oregon has proven to be of the highest caliber and chocked full of integrity. Sometimes you feel like you can get lost in a big city. In Sisters we have been able to be part of a growing and nurturing business community.” - Wyatt Woods, President and Owner, Holy Kakow
Case Study: Holy Kakow Founded in Portland in 2009, Holy Kakow creates premium organic chocolate sauces and syrups that are used in coffee shops across the nation and globe. After running the business for nearly a decade, President and Owner Wyatt Woods decided a move to the City of Sisters would be beneficial for his family. The next step was to figure out how to move the successful business. After EDCO’s help with site selection, incentives, permitting, and more, Holy Kakow was able to move their operations into a new building in the Sisters Business Park. The relocation allowed them to scale for growth, even during the pandemic, expanding their employment from three to eight in the span of a couple months. Holy Kakow have their sights set on new product launches. With the backing of the community and the growing number of craft food businesses in Sisters, the company is surrounded by a strong business ecosystem to help them succeed.

“We moved to Bend to start Altitude Beverages in the fall of 2020. Besides the 300 days of sunshine and incredible outdoor activities, it is a great startup incubator.” - Thomas Angel, Founder & CEO, Altitude Beverages
Case Study: Altitude Beverages Thomas Angel and Laura Melgarejo moved to Bend to start Altitude Beverages in the Fall of 2020, citing the startup community as a key contributor to their decision to move. Their first product - The Everything Latte - launched that same year and had such success that they expanded the line to include green and black tea lattes and sparkling white tea mocktails. In 2022, Altitude Beverages was a semifinalist at the Bend Venture Conference and has continued to work with EDCO for mentorship and access to funding. With a growing number of consumers looking to incorporate functional ingredients into their routine, Altitude Beverages’ shelf-stable, canned products are poised for growth and are now available in about 500 stores across 13 states. Inspired by the community in Central Oregon, Thomas Angel partnered with fellow product makers from the area to form Cultivate Bend, a mutual benefit trade organization aimed at cultivating a vibrant ecosystem for the growing cluster of entrepreneurs, operators and leaders in Central Oregon’s food and natural products industry.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT
A driving force for Central Oregon’s economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported via the number of new business registrations, which has outpaced far larger cities. According to SmartAsset data, 28.96% of Deschutes County residents have small business incomes, and independent businesses generate about 13.02% of the income for the county. The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Assets managed by EDCO include monthly Central Oregon PubTalks, the Stable of Experts mentorship program and the largest Angel Conference in the PNW, the Bend Venture Conference. Since launching in

CENTRAL OREGON AMONG THE FASTEST GROWING REGIONS The Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which includes Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties, grew by nearly 7% between the April 2020 Census and July 1, 2022, adding close to 17,000 residents according to U.S. Census Bureau data. This growth reflects the continued appeal of Central Oregon, with Crook County standing out as the fastest-growing county in the state during that period. Net migration remained strong in Deschutes County. In 2022, it saw a gain of 1,848 residents, based on IRS migration data. Of the 13,327 people who moved into the county, 5,598 came from other parts of Oregon, while 7,729 relocated from out of state. Oregon as a whole experienced a net loss of 6,896 residents during that same period, with most newcomers arriving from California (30,421) and Washington (19,487). Despite the statewide decline, the Bend metro area continues to grow steadily, fueled by both instate and out-of-state migration.
4.1 million visitors are drawn to Central Oregon each year for its outdoor recreation, vibrant communities and high quality of life. Tourism serves as a gateway to discovering the region’s livability and business potential. Between 2010 and 2024, Central Oregon’s population grew by nearly 30%, driven by inmigration and a thriving economy. In response, communities across the region are investing in infrastructure, housing and workforce development to support sustainable growth. Central Oregon continues to attract skilled talent and entrepreneurs, reinforcing its reputation as a dynamic place to live, work and build a business.
“Central Oregon’s economic growth is stronger than the state and nation overall. The primary reason is the high quality of life that attracts new residents. Faster population growth means local businesses can hire and expand at a faster rate due to the influx of working-age migrants and the growing labor force.” Josh Lehner, Economist Oregon Office of Economic Analysis

ECONOMIC DIVERSITY Central Oregon’s thriving and diverse economy makes it an ideal place to enjoy a fulfilling career. The Bend MSA offers a pro-business environment with incentives and supportive business finance options to encourage economic growth. Oregon allows corporate net operating losses to be carried forward for up to 15 years without a cap, which can meaningfully reduce business tax liability.
The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Assets managed by EDCO include Central Oregon PubTalks and the largest Angel Conference in the Pacific Northwest, the Bend Venture Conference.
For businesses looking to relocate, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies. The region offers a tight-knit community without sacrificing talent, education opportunities or quality healthcare. EDCO’s network can help businesses streamline decisions when choosing a new home. A driving force for Central Oregon’s economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported by the number of new business registrations, which have outpaced far larger cities.
The Bend Venture Conference has been run in Bend for twenty years and brings entrepreneurs and angel investors together. Efforts to foster new local businesses also include regular Central Oregon PubTalks - networking events for people interested in entrepreneurship. These longterm efforts have borne fruit, with Bend ranking No. 17 for young firm employment share. 4 - Most Dynamic Metros 2024, Heartland Forward
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Communities in Central Oregon are actively engaged in aligning workforce goals with economic development. Local education institutions and private sector employers continue to find innovative ways to improve skill attainment within the workforce.

OSU-Cascades offers over 27 degree programs and recently launched SnoPlanks Academy, a student-lead and operated snowboard company that delivers career development to every student.

Sometimes you feel like you can get lost in a big city. In Sisters we have been able to be part of a growing and nurturing business community.” - Wyatt Woods, President and Owner, Holy Kakow
