Our community is a blend of industry, agriculture and recreation. Our residents enjoy a variety of employment opportunities, including manufacturing, aviation, agriculture, retail, education, tourism and health care.
Madras is a caring community with significant collaboration between residents, businesses, government, service organizations and churches to provide a top-notch quality of life for all ages.
Our general aviation airport has a “heavy” designation and can accommodate any size corporate jet as well as heavy, C-130, aircraft. The Madras Airport, a former World War II training base for B-17 pilots, is the site for the annual Airshow of the Cascades, the Erickson Aircraft Collection, and Erickson Aero Tanker that provides support for wildland fire suppression. Redmond Municipal Airport is just a short drive to the south with flights to major cities, connecting to destinations worldwide.
