BEND, Ore. (AP) — High-tech companies appear ready for expansion in central Oregon.
The Bulletin newspaper in Bend reports that figures from the Oregon Employment Department show the high-tech sector has grown statewide in recent months.
Numbers for Central Oregon are not yet available. But several high-tech companies in Deschutes County are moving toward expansion rather than contraction.
Among the examples are Dent Instruments, a manufacturer of energy-measurement devices, which said earlier this month it has purchased a building to serve as its new headquarters in Bend.
Alchemy Solutions Inc., which produces software for moving organizations from mainframe computing systems to less costly alternatives, is considering a move to a much bigger office location in Bend.
