Bend Vision Project – Environmental Scan

This report is an overview of emerging global, national and regional trends, along with local data and information, that we have identified as relevant to the future of the community of greater Bend, Oregon. It has been prepared for the Bend Vision Project, both to inform the community’s conversation on the future of Bend and to serve as a resource for the development of a community vision and action plan to achieve it.

While we could not possibly present all of the relevant information influencing the future of Bend, it represents an attempt to keep our conversation as complete and current as possible. This document will be revisited during the course of the project as important new data and information becomes available. We welcome comments, questions, recommendations for additional information, and/or corrections of data or information presented in this report.
