All information is provided
All information about Certified Sites is verified and available electronically or in hard copy. Because timing is critical in the site selection process, having answers to commonly asked questions often makes the difference between landing a deal and losing to another location. The state of Oregon certifies that construction can begin in 180 days or less on all Certified Sites.
