Committed to Fiscal Responsibility & Transparency
City of North Bend release - At the City of North Bend, we prioritize the responsible use of taxpayer dollars and are proud to be one of the most open and transparent local governments in Oregon. For every $1 North Bend taxpayers contributed in Fiscal Year 2024, the city matched it with $1.23 in additional funding from local, state, federal, and private foundation grants. This means that your city is effectively more than doubling the impact of each dollar, bringing in much-needed funds to improve infrastructure, services, and community programs. To put it in perspective: North Bend collected $4.5 million in property taxes. These funds were supplemented by $5.5 million in grant dollars to meet our community’s needs. What have we accomplished with this funding? $4 million for workforce housing at the former county annex complex. $900,000 for stormwater and sewerage infrastructure for affordable housing developments. $439,308 toward renovations and services at the North Bend Public Library. $100,000 for brownfield cleanup and blighted property abatement. $56,866 for public safety equipment and training. $23,000 to support city events. $15,000 for risk management and cybersecurity efforts.
