“The City of Canby feels that the Team Oregon Manufacturing initiative is very effective and a great value. We would never have the internal resources to create as comprehensive a business recruitment initiative ourselves. Partnering with OEDA makes perfect sense for us. The program is sophisticated and well-coordinated. The team works together to present a compelling message to our target industries that Oregon (and by extension) Canby is open for business, and is a strong business location for their relocation or business expansion. As a team, we participate in targeted trade shows, conduct business outreach visits and hold meetings with key site selectors. This approach is generating strong leads and raising awareness and interest that will yield dividends over time. It is important to have a consistent and sustained effort to reinforce our message. Canby is committed to the OEDA Team Oregon approach for the long haul and encourages other jurisdictions to do the same.”
