Results:

• Used for every major recruitment account.  OregonProspector was used to identify the location of Lowe’s site for its $100 million, 1.4 million square foot distribution center in the City of Lebanon which will employ 750 people and will rank as the third largest building in Oregon.
• FMM Corporation, a company that produces safety control devices for the oil industry, used OregonProspector early in their site location process and led to them to locating in La Grande.
• OregonProspector was also used in the recruitment of Amy's Kitchen to White City which will result in hundreds of jobs.  CCIM, an organization of certified commercial real estate agents, acknowledged the significance of the Amy's Kitchen deal by naming it the 2005 Oregon transaction of the year.
• The website has been a key tool for the attraction of jobs to distressed and rural communities

“We’re very excited about a prospect.  A national chain located a site on OregonProspector.  We’re about to make the announcement in the coming two months.  That will mean 750 jobs to a distressed community.  So we’re very excited, and they found the site on OregonProspector.”
–Tim McCabe, President, Oregon Economic Development Association

“From workforce to infrastructure, OregonProspector.com strengthens our ability to connect communities with companies – delivering good jobs and unlimited economic opportunity.”
–Governor Ted Kulongoski, State of Oregon

“A company out of California called FMM Corporation was looking for buildings in Oregon, and went on OregonProspector with their specs, and found the perfect building in La Grande.  They relocated, and attributed it to OregonProspector.  Working for the State of Oregon in Northeast Oregon I have thirty-six rural communities, and OregonProspector allows them to compete nationally.”
–Jill Miles, National Business Development Officer, State of Oregon

“The State is now reporting that virtually every significant traded sector recruitment account has used the OregonProspector.com website either before or during their decision process.”
