The City of Bend is charting a path for future growth and wants to collect feedback from the community.
For those who would prefer to weigh in from the comfort of home, the City of Bend is offering a fun and interactive online tool where participants can tell the City which kinds of goals are important to them, highlight examples of how they think the City can best meet those goals, and show where within the city they would like to see different kinds of housing, business and natural areas.
Click on the link for the easy-to-use, online survey at www.bendoregon.gov/bendugb. Respondents can spend anywhere from two minutes to two hours on the survey, depending on level of interest and available time.
The Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) is a line on the City’s map that identifies Bend’s urban land. This boundary represents an estimated 20-year supply of land for employment, housing and other urban uses. As the city continues to grow, we have an opportunity to develop a plan for future growth that reflects the community’s goals and meets state planning requirements.
Information collected from the survey will, along with other research and input, inform and influence the steering committee members as they design a proposal about Bend’s future land needs and uses.
Get involved and help shape the future of Bend.
