Envision Bend Planning Survey

BEND, OR -- A new 5 year Community Vision and Action Plan survey is underway. Envision Bend Executive director Laura Fritz explains the information gathering process, "What do you value most about the Bend area?' 'What do you think are our community’s greatest challenges?' 'What are some solutions that would have an impact on people’s lives?' We’re holding focus groups in tandem with the survey. Our consultants will analyze that data and evaluate it and help create the long-range vision that the community has shared.”

This is the first large-scale community visioning project for the greater Bend area since 2005-06.

The survey is open through October 31st. Then the information will be compiled for presentation.

“We will assemble volunteer action teams to take that vision and also the data that has been gathered through these various means, and build the first five-year action plan,” said Fritz.

People who have completed the survey and provide their contact information are eligible for prize drawings, including two grand prize awards that will be drawn in early November. Envision Bend will award a $2,000 cash prize to one survey participant, and a $1,000 cash prize to another survey participant, each of whom will choose a local nonprofit to receive the funds. The funds were provided by an anonymous donor for the specific purpose of encouraging community engagement in the survey.

The survey is available in both English and Spanish at https://envisionbend.org/
