Certification saves time, lowers costs and provides added certainty that a site meets development objectives. Oregon sites are ready for construction within six months or less and are certified "project-ready" for a specific industry profile.
To certify industrial lands, the state of Oregon works with local property owners, realtors, municipalities and collaborating state agencies to compile comprehensive documentation and prepare a certification notebook. Since a company would have to compile this material anyway, having it readily available, along with government assurances about its accuracy, can shorten a project's timeline dramatically. Certification notebooks contain documentation about utilities available at a site, local workforce availability, easements and liens, and any improvements on the site, as well as state or local development incentives.
State agencies provide clearances for environmental contamination, wetlands, endangered species and cultural resources. Local governments provide assurances that the industry certification profile conforms to local zoning regulations and that there is local support for the development. Any systems development or other charges are clearly identified.
The certification process itself demands extensive local and state government collaboration. Those working relationships will continue as you launch your project, helping your company move through any future regulatory matters smoothly and efficiently.
