October 15: Beyond City Limits - Regional Collaboration and Competition in Central Oregon

Description

Central Oregon's communities are more connected than ever. Housing, transportation, economic opportunity, public safety, and natural resources don't stop at city limits. Behind many of the region's biggest decisions are partnerships among local governments working to address shared challenges while respecting the unique identity of each community. This conversation will pull back the curtain on how regional collaboration works, why it matters, and what it means for the future of Central Oregon.

Speakers:

• Emily Cureton Cook (Moderator), OPB
