A brief description of the program:

OSU turns to local products and services whenever possible. Although cost is a consideration, service and support of the local economy is also a factor driving business decisions at OSU. Particularly for services, local vendors, labor and consultants are strongly prioritized. Corvallis and Eugene designers, vendors, contractors and consultants are used extensively. With the Portland Metro Area less than 100 miles away, there are typically an adequate supply of talent.
