Sustainability
The City of North Bend is now working to plan for a number of measures of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. We have recently completed the development of an Energy and Sustainability Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. This element has formed broad policy direction for municipal operations, new development, and information to residents and businesses on actions they can take as individuals to reduce their environmental impacts, and to ensure that environmental, community and economic goals are held in balance with one another. The next steps will be to develop incentives for carrying out these policies in new development.
