Many of you asked for a copy of Delore’s slide presentation. He has been gracious enough to provide us his deck, a copy of which you can Deschutes Community Conversation.

Welcome to the website for the newly formed Deschutes Economic Alliance!
The Deschutes Economic Alliance is a grassroots effort organized by a diverse group of local, private-sector business and community leaders who seek an objective, coherent vision for the economic future of Deschutes County—a vision which builds on our regional strengths, but provides greater economic stability for sustainable growth.
The Alliance recognizes the extraordinary efforts of existing public/private organizations dedicated to diversifying our local economy through recruitment and expansion, supporting existing businesses through training and educational opportunities, and otherwise enhancing the economic vitality of our community. The Alliance will collaborate with those existing organizations to create and implement a thoughtful strategy for our economic future with the independent guidance of internationally renowned economic development experts—a strategy driven by empirical data, with discrete actions for implementation and objective measures of success.
