BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Envision Bend is staging the launch week for the Bend Vision Project, after a quieter phase of interviewing many around the community about the future, so now it’s time for the public to get involved.
Four people spoke at Tuesday evening’s kickoff of that next phase.
Envision Bend has completed the “quiet phase,” having interviewed community leaders and “connectors,” recruiting project partners and researching trends — global, national, and local.
The Bend Vision Project is an effort to envision a better future for Bend and what the community wants Bend to look like the upcoming years. In the launch week, there will be events, workshops, and prize giveaways.
