I would imagine they will be importing most of the talent -- either from Portland, (inter)nationally, or at least from Bend or Eugene or Corvallis. My guess is that it really is the taxes + land costs + electricity costs + environment (cool high desert is great for evap cooling). Also Oregon has good business taxes, if high income tax. Finally, there is good skiing nearby at Bachelor, nearby Redmond has a great airport, etc.
