A Public Hearings Officer Will Hear Pros and Cons on OSU Cascades Proposed Location on Bend's Westside

A Public Hearings Officer will hear the college, city and citizens who are for and against the proposed location at Chandler and Century.

"This is something that is time sensitive.  We have state bonds that don't last forever.  There's a lot of competition in Salem for these.  I'm worried if this drags on too long, Salem will think central Oregon doesn't want to have a four year university."

 

The public hearing on the site plan will be Tuesday morning at 9 A.M. at the city of Bend Municipal Court Room on 15th Street.

 

The public hearings officer is expected to offer a recommendation in three weeks. That decision can be apppealed.
