July forum: Central Oregon Trends and Opportunities to 2040

Implications for housing, transportation & economic development

Between 2010 and 2040, Central Oregon will grow from 200,000 to more than 350,000 or 76%. Growth in seniors (65+) will be equivalent to approximately 40% of the growth. Households with children will account for only a quarter of household growth. Single-person households will grow more, accounting for more than a third of household growth. Because of demographic changes, starter-home and downsizing households who seek smaller homes on smaller lots, and attached homes, will account for nearly two-thirds of the new housing demand.

Jobs will grow at an even faster pace by more than 90%, mostly as part time jobs replace full time ones. In 2010, Central Oregon supported about 46 million square feet of nonresidential space such as offices, stores, warehouses and institutions. The inventory of nonresidential space will nearly double to 90 million square feet. Yet the rebuilding and repurposing of existing space combined with building new space will mean more than 120 million square feet of space will be constructed, nearly three times the space existing in 2010. Because most nonresidential development is very low intensity, there is an opportunity to reshape Central Oregon’s cities to meet new development needs.

These are just a few of the insights Dr. Arthur C. Nelson will present to the City Club of Central Oregon on July 16.

* * IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ * *

In an effort to improve your experience at your City Club forums, please review the following:

Registration fees must be paid in advance of the forum.  This will eliminate the line of folks who pay at the door and will move all attendees into the main room for maximum networking time.

Choices for payment include:

  • Online credit card payment:  When you receive an event email, simply click on the REGISTER HERE button. Once you’ve entered your contact information, you have the option to pay online via credit card.
  • Check by mail: If you select the “pay by check” option during the online registration process, we will be alerted to check our mailbox. We need your checks by the Tuesday before the forum.
  • Credit card by phone:  You may also call us to finalize your registration and pay by credit card.  Your credit card information will be taken over the phone and you will receive an email confirmation of payment.

Registration closes at 5pm on the Monday prior to the Thursday forum.  

Although you have registered and pre-paid online, please remember to check in at the registration table to receive your name tag.

  • Walk-ins the day of the forum will be welcomed for MEMBERS ONLY on a space-available basis.  The fee for walk-in attendees is $35.
  • Refunds may be issued for cancellations if made 48 hours prior to the event.  Cancellations less than 48 hours are non-refundable.
  • If you have already registered, but are no longer able to attend, you may send someone in your place. We would appreciate you letting us know the name of the alternate person 48 hours prior to the forum so we can update our registration list and have the correct name tag waiting.
  • If you registered online but have not prepaid or called to cancel, you will be invoiced for the forum.  Reason why? Our attendee count is submitted to St. Charles 48 hours prior to the forum and we are charged for the cost of your lunch – regardless if you attend or not.
  • As a courtesy to others, we ask that you do not video or record our forum. Recordings are available on our website and on KOTV.

Thank you for your support of City Club - we will see you at the forum!
