The North Bend School District 13 Board meeting held on August 16, 2025, focused on significant discussions regarding the district's status in the Urban Renewal Area (URA) map. Board members reviewed previous decisions and clarified the current standing of the district concerning the URA.
During the meeting, it was confirmed that the district had previously requested to be removed from the URA map, a request that was granted. This decision means that the district is currently not included in the URA map, which has implications for funding and development opportunities within the area.
Board members expressed a willingness to explore further options related to the URA, indicating that while they are not currently part of it, there may be future considerations to reassess their involvement. The discussion highlighted the need for careful evaluation of the district's position and potential benefits of being included in the URA.
Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of understanding the district's relationship with the URA and the potential impacts on future projects and funding. The board plans to continue reviewing this matter in upcoming meetings to ensure that they make informed decisions moving forward.
