  • Low costs of doing business. From taxes to land prices to labor and utilities costs – we can beat most jurisdictions.  
  • Pro-business environment. We offer the services and incentives you need to establish a successful business in our city.
  • Accessibility. State highways easily connect Forest Grove to the surrounding region, including the Portland metropolitan area – population 2 million and growing.
  • Expanding population & work force. Our growth rate exceeds that of the state and surrounding region, and our businesses have access to a growing, well-educated and diversely skilled local and regional work force.
  • Available land. We have vacant acreage and buildings suitable for a variety of businesses, from large manufacturing firms to small service businesses, with certain properties eligible for property tax exemptions.
  • Enviable lifestyle. Our central location in the Pacific Northwest means we are surrounded by a unique mix of amenities, from the urbane (nationally acclaimed performing arts events at Pacific University; annual classic car show, award-winning wineries) to the recreational (golf, hiking, biking, fishing).
