The cities of Bend and Redmond, Oregon are intrinsically tied together, as they are dependent on each other’s success to continue to upgrade Central Oregon as a whole. To the folks in Redmond, density is coming, and to the folks in Bend, your little brother city is growing up now. The future success lies in joining forces, sharing resources and focusing on the learning opportunities that will bring the communities together.
