Every so often, a community gets a real chance to shape what it becomes. This is one of those moments. The City of Bend has launched the Bend Made Survey, and what you share will help set the City’s priorities and guide its decisions for the next 20-30+ years. The roads we travel, the neighborhoods we build, the way we grow: your voice can help shape all of it. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to weigh in. How Bend Made and Envision Bend fit together You may be wondering how this connects to the work we’ve been doing together. The short answer: these are two different efforts that work best side by side. Bend Made is a planning process required by the State of Oregon. It gives the City a framework to set priorities, meet state requirements, and move key initiatives forward, and it’s your direct line to the people making those decisions. The Envision Bend Vision Action Plan grew out of a community-driven visioning process.
