    Redmond Professional Business Medical District Initiative
    (2016) Hawley, Erica; Dionísio, Wendy Ames
    The Redmond Professional Business Medical District Initiative is an ongoing project in the City of Redmond, Oregon. The initiative aims to create a distinct area of town designated for new business development that will boost the city’s overall economy and improve quality of life for residents. With an emphasis on curb appeal, accessibility, and connection to nature, the Professional Business Medical District is a unique addition to the growing City of Redmond. However, there is currently a general lack of awareness about the district and the many opportunities it can provide the region – particularly among investors, business owners, and developers. To address this issue, five students in Public Relations Campaigns (J454) at the University of Oregon developed a communication plan to advise city officials on how to effectively draw new business to the area.

    Regional Multi-sports Complex Feasibility Analysis
    (2015) Hjelm, Elizabeth
    In winter term 2016, students in the Business Planning and Strategy Projects class (BA 453) in the Lundquist School of Business at the University of Oregon (UO) conducted an analysis for a proposed regional multi-­sports complex in Redmond, Oregon. A group of organizations within the region are exploring a regional multi-­sports complex. Initial parties include: Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, City of Redmond, VisitBend, Central Oregon Visitors Association (COVA), Redmond Area Parks and Recreation District, and others. The complex is framed as an economic development initiative targeted at sports tourism. The goal is to develop an outdoor/indoor complex that would attract major destination tournaments that are not easily accommodated in Central Oregon’s existing sports infrastructure. The complex would also bring community benefit through use from local groups and sports leagues.
