Dear Wayne,
This is an update to the 21 day notice provided Feb. 10th 2017 regarding an expansion to the Bend Enterprise Zone. This zone does not impact the underlying zoning or the current property tax base for your tax district. It does allow traded sector business to temporarily exempt new capital projects for a standard three (3) year period of time dependent on creating jobs and on making new, taxable investments. This program is specifically targeted at traded-sector businesses – in short, companies that export a majority of their goods or services outside our region’s borders. EDCO and the City of Bend focus efforts on recruiting and growing traded-sector employers to foster the creation of new, well- paying base-industry jobs and improve the foundations of Bend’s economy. Non-traded-sector companies (retail, commercial, restaurant, health care, etc.) are not eligible for the program, and currently comprise more than 85% of all Bend businesses.
The reason for this letter is a small change and update to the final Bend City Council resolution that includes 10 additional properties (see list of tax lots identified on the following page) that have been updated since the initial notice was sent out. In addition to these tax lots, portions of properties (those outside the new Bend UGB) originally proposed for expansion of the current Bend Enterprise Zone were removed. The result is a small net decrease in the total amount of acres being included in the proposed expanded zone. Specifically, the original 164 properties identified in the February 10th notice would have added 2,201.02 acres to the zone while the updated 174 properties include 2,179.42 acres. While a minor change, we wanted to keep you updated and aware of the modification.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me via phone (541-388-3236 x 4) or email (kip@edcoinfo.com) should you have any questions regarding this process or update.
Thank you,
Kip Barrett

The Above taxlots and relationships got confusing the last time I researched them. They are still confusing!!!! They are in an Enterprise Zone Now?
The only Enterprise these taxlots are in is residential development. The reason for investigating them previously was association with Special Assessments!!!
