Recommended Community Events
July 17, Thursday, 11:30 AM - Resort Development in Central Oregon: Cost vs. Benefits. A forum presented by the City Club of Central Oregon and the Bank of the Cascades. Preregistration is required and may be done at the City Club Register Online web page. The cost is $13.00 for members and $25.00 for non members. Central Oregon is experiencing a surge in destination resort development throughout the region. There are currently seven active resorts in the area, with at least seven more in various stages of planning. While some tout the economic benefits the resorts may bring to the region, others voice concerns about the detrimental effects to quality of life. The City Club will explore whether the benefits to the economy are worth the costs to the region and how local experts weigh in on all sides of the issue. The forum will address these issues in a panel presentation including Linda Swearingen, Development Consultant, Dennis Luke, Deschutes County Commissioner and Paul Dewey, Attorney and Co-Founder of Central Oregon Landwatch. The Forum will begin at 11:30 at St. Charles Center for Health and Learning located at 2500 Neff Road in Bend. Check in begins at 11:15 and lunch will be provided.
