Bend Revitalization Initiative (BRI) was formed in 2018. We work with residents and local partners to further economic, social, cultural and equitable development in the Bend. With support from the Village Trust Initiative, BRI is taking on its first large scale project. We are in the process of purchasing the recently shuttered Old United Methodist Church to turn it into a community hub to serve the needs of the Bend community. We need YOU to help us make decisions about what the building should be used for and how our community will interact with it. Should it be a community center? a sit down restaurant? a co-working space? something else? – tell us what you want here on Main Street!
In November we hosted a community dinner in the Bend to hear your thoughts. Listed below are some of the most frequently mentioned ideas and extra space for you to add new ideas. Please submit this form to share your ideas and help us decide how this space can best serve you and your loved ones! Find out more at: https://thebendvt.org/
