- Seizing Opportunity: Oregon Semiconductor Competitiveness Task Force Report
Oregon has a leading position in US semiconductor research, design, and production. In March of 2022, the Oregon Semiconductor Competitiveness Task Force formed to analyze Oregon’s semiconductor industry and how it can continue to thrive, grow, and help create prosperity and opportunity for more Oregonians. The Task Force created this report, outlining key factors that impact semiconductor manufacturing, Oregon’s competitiveness in those areas, and options to position Oregon to attract industry investment. Subcommittees developed recommendations on the research and development environment, workforce, industrial land availability, tax and incentives, and regulations.

- Statewide Industrial Land Survey
A survey conducted by the Oregon Business Council, the Oregon Economic Development
Association, and the League of Oregon Cities asked respondents to identify the number of sites they have of various sizes, their state of readiness, common barriers to development readiness and whether or not lack of development ready
industrial land was limiting local economic development opportunities.

- Economic and Fiscal Impact of Semiconductor Industry Expansion in Oregon
The stakes are high to address barriers to expansion in Oregon’s semiconductor industry. Transformational industry investments could create more high wage jobs, advance Oregon’s manufacturing output, and exponentially grow the state’s economy. This economic growth would benefit Oregonians everywhere, for those both in and outside of the technology and manufacturing fields, as the industry engages a variety of sectors in the supply chain.
