Find out what Millennials think about the BCD

We gave Bend's Millennial leaders the chance to design their ideal version of NE Hawthorne Ave at the Bend Chamber's first ever Young Professionals Summit! Watch this video summary of the workshop Central Oregon LandWatch hosted this fall. The workshop was designed in collaboration with Moey Newbold, Stemach Design + Architecture, and ML Vidas.

At the Bend Chamber's Young Professionals Summit in Bend, Oregon, we gave Millennials a chance to design a street in the Bend Central District. Each group received building blocks to create a street with the "urban feel" of their choice. Their visions for this underdeveloped area may surprise you!

The BCD Initiative is a project of Central Oregon LandWatch. We are building momentum and support for the Bend Central District’s transformation into a vibrant, healthy, and resilient mixed-use neighborhood with safe connections between east and west Bend.
