City of La Pine Downtown Vision

In winter 2018, the City of La Pine, in partnership with Oregon’s Kitchen Table (OKT) and Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), conducted a public outreach and engagement process to hear from people who work in, live in, or visit the City and its surrounding areas about their hopes for downtown La Pine. There was a particular focus on a transit site that will be located downtown in the near future. 712 people took part in the OKT consultation, with about 80% from La Pine. This engagement is part of a larger project funded by Meyer Memorial Trust that OKT is part of with lead partner COIC, Let’s Talk Diversity Coalition, the Ford Family Foundation’s Ford Institute Leadership Program alumni, the communities of La Pine, Sisters, Madras, and Prineville, as well as other partners in each city to increase and broaden community engagement around economic development issues, priorities, and projects in each city.
