EB-5 MARKET IN OREGON
Oregon has experienced a fast growth in its EB-5 industry since 2011, when the state’s first EB-5 regional center was approved by USCIS, As of June 2020, there are 20 USCIS-designated regional centers operating in Oregon. From 2010 to 2015, Oregon attracted $80 million worth of EB-5 capital that has created 580 American jobs. These funds helped generate $70 million in GDP and $10 million in tax revenue for the U.S. economy, according to EB-5 Economic Impact Studies.
STATE ECONOMY
With its diverse landscape, affluent natural resources and friendly business climate, Oregon boasts a strong economic ecosystem that supports innovation, investment and development. Semiconductors, aviation, manufacturing, food production and wood products are the pillar industries of the local economy. Oregon ranks among the top five U.S. states in terms of GDP increase rates and personal income growth from 2005 to 2015, as estimated by the U.S. Department of Commerce. In 2019, Oregon saw a GDP of $222.4 billion, a 2.7% rise comparing with the number of 2018.
Oregon’s attractiveness to foreign investors and entrepreneurs shines most when its favorable business tax regime is considered. Business owners in Oregon can enjoy one of the lowest effective tax rates among all U.S. states and benefit from the state’s flexible tax policies on out-of-state corporate income. Oregon is also an attractive place for immigrants to raise their families thanks to its low cost of living and zero sales taxes.
