Our Region Stands Out
Oregon's Willamette Valley is our home and our team is dedicated to helping it thrive.
We know the land, the people, the obstacles, and the opportunities. We see how everything fits together to create a beautifully intricate value-add economy.
Wine alone supports dozens of industries and thousands of jobs. Here in the Willamette Valley, we can grow over 200 of these specialty crops!Â
We Show Up. We Listen. We Transform Opportunities Into Reality.
When local businesses expand, when they hire new staff, when they become more productive and efficient, we celebrate. When cities thrive and communities prosper, we celebrate. When optimism grows for the future of our whole region, we celebrate.
THE IMPACT IS REAL
Multiplier Effect
Good-Paying Jobs
Traded sector jobs are stable, pay above-average wages, offer competitive benefits, and since many local businesses try to expand within the region, allow employees opportunities to grow within the business.
Stable Tax Revenue
Many county and municipal budgets rely on the taxes generated from traded sector businesses. This tax revenue support vital services like roads, water treatment systems and sewers, public schools, and police and fire services, all of which make our communities safe, livable, and lovely.
Uncrate Opportunity: Tap Into Our Vast Network of Trusted Partners
To carry out any project across the finish line involves an expansive and intricate network of passionate people with a shared vision. Since 1982, SEDCOR has built and strengthened positive and productive partnerships with industry leaders, nonprofits, business advocacy groups, community organizations, commodity boards, state and federal agencies, local governments, and more. In a phrase, "We know someone for that!"

The Greatest Impact is From Within
