"Central Oregon Showcase – Urbanization of Central Oregon:
Big Tech, Mass Timber, Tall Buildings & Housing Solutions Galore"

We look forward to gathering with our OBOA members and colleagues for our Spring QBM on Friday, May 16. We are heading to Central Oregon to discuss important issues and meaningful projects in the region.

OBOA invites you to this unique business meeting -- our eastside peers have crafted a special meeting just for OBOA members and friends. Several jurisdictions have banded together to give us a "virtual tour" of various projects they have been working on:

• Crook County: Data Centers
• Redmond: Mass Timber Library
• Deschutes County: Bend Air Traffic Control Tower
• Bend: Variety of Housing Types

Join us to hear about the processes and methods used for these structures and businesses. As always, we will also provide many important industry updates, the latest BCD news and updates, the latest on the long 2025 Legislative Session provided by our lobbyists and more! This will be an excellent meeting with fellow code officials and industry partners. Don't miss out -- we hope to see you there!
