Business Resource Center

Josephine County offers the best of all possible locations to build your business. Businesses and individuals work together to maintain and build better communities.

Our goal is slow and steady growth. We pride ourselves in the variety of opportunities we offer new and established businesses. From wood products to tourism to high tech, there are many opportunities for businesses to draw on a variety of services.

Variety really is the jewel offered in Grants Pass. Come stroll and shop through many of the historical locations in Josephine County. You can enjoy small town shopping at its best, or relocate your business here.

For larger business opportunities, we have that, too. Larger stores, as well as two shopping centers and theaters, are located outside the downtown Grants Pass area. Industrial and manufacturing businesses find their home in locations throughout the county as well.

 

• Grants Pass is home to Rogue Community College and entertainment venues such as Rogue Music Theater and Barnstormers Theater.
• Cave Junction is the connection to the Oregon Caves, the California & Oregon Coast as well as the Redwoods.
• Merlin is the gateway to the Wild and Scenic Rogue River.

 

There are many other small communities through out the County that offer additional variety and business opportunities.

Indoor and outdoor opportunities abound.
