Portland
Portland is a small city in western Traill County in eastern North Dakota's Red River Valley, twinned with neighboring Mayville and its university, with a base of agriculture, retail, trades, and service businesses serving the surrounding sugar-beet and grain country and the shared Mayville-Portland community. Its farm-and-college-adjacent setting anchors a small-city economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Portland area's agriculture, retail, trades, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
