BEND, OR -- Envision Bend will present survey results from the Bend Vision Project Tuesday afternoon. The public is invited to attend this interactive summit meeting to ask questions, provide more feedback, and volunteer to help shape Bend’s five-year action plan.
Board member Leigh Capozzi tells KBND news they’ve been gathering data since last year, “We have gotten 2,045 community surveys, we’ve done 72 interviews, and held 17 focus groups with the general public.”
The meeting is interactive, according to Capozzi, “…Share some of the big ideas that the community has said ‘hey we think this could be great’…and then talk about what’s next, and create opportunities to ask questions, and then volunteer to sign up if folks want to get involved some vision action teams which will be the next phase of this project.”
Capozzi says researchers tried to talk to traditionally disconnected communities, “Bringing all these voices to the table really creates this well-rounded, well represented voice, as we start to see these themes, and think about creating action plans that the broader community wants.”
The Envision Bend Community Summit is at COCC from 4:30 to 6:30 Tuesday, February 7th in Willie Hall in the Coats Campus Center.
