Background:
Bend 2030 is a non-profit organization dedicated towards the stewardship and fulfillment
of the six focus areas, and 88 action items, that comprise the Bend community's vision
for itself over the next 22 years. Our board works closely with over 60 lead partners,
representing the private, public and non-profit sectors. Our task: facilitate, network,
endorse and periodically, fundraise, bringing the vision to life!
To date, over 76% of the action items identified in the Vision are being worked on or
have been successfully achieved through collaborative and meaningful partnerships.
Our Mission:
Inspiring, guiding and strengthening partnerships that make our community's vision a
reality Keeping Bend an amazing place to live!
The "Passport to the Future" town hall is an invitation to the community to check up on
the Bend 2030 Vision. The event has three major themes:
1. An update on current Vision initiatives, featuring Lead Partners from each focus area:
* Deschutes Land Trust, with an update on Skyline Forest
* City of Bend, Bend Neighborhood Associations
* Deschutes County
* Commute Options, Citizens for Bend Area Transit
* Housing Works, and affordable housing efforts
* Deschutes National Forest
2. How the vision impacts decision making. Keynote speakers will address the impact of
the Vision in their work:
* Eric King, City Manager, City of Bend
* Doug LaPlaca, CEO, VisitBend
* Brad Bailey, Bend Garbage and Recycle
3. Get involved! Guests at the `Passport to the Future' will be invited to contribute or
volunteer via their Neighborhood Associations or directly with Bend 2030. Contact
information will be provided.
How does "Passport to the Future" impact economic health of the region?
The "Passport to the Future" community forum is an important step in furthering the
work of Bend 2030. Specifically, the Vibrant Economy section of the Vision addresses
economic development, business infrastructure, workforce and sustainable industry
initiatives through 62 different actions that various agencies, private industry and non-
profit organizations have agreed to execute. (Please reference enclosed Vision document
beginning on page 16.)
Sustainable economic outcomes result from well-informed planning and broad
community support. Bend 2030 represents such a planning effort. We believe the Vision,
carefully crafted from the input of over 5700 citizens, provides a roadmap to inform
County initiatives, as well as a collaborative base for all lead partner agencies to work
from.
We appreciate your support with this request for funding, and we hope you will join us.
