It's no secret that Coin Meter Company prides itself on being a locally grown Oregon company. However, Coin Meter was started 40 years ago and the Portland market has become a very different one for startups. One thing we can't ignore, is that Portland's economic health isn't going to get better without creating an environment that welcomes startups and companies who are interested in relocating here. The Portland Business Alliance recently held a Jobs Summit that created an action plan for our community to "create a vibrant and prosperous regional economy that generates family-wage jobs and sufficient tax revenues to support critical public services." This action plan outlines short and long term goals and ways to measure if these goals our met. The plan is designed to support the residents of Portland we have now, and to encourage the prospect of Portland being a key building block in a company's structure. Our company sees the value of growing a community from within, reaching out to other entities to show them what a great place Portland is to run a business, and that we have the personnel here to sustain a company for 40+ years!
