I live a block and a half from the Century Center and am 100% in support of this music venue. The neighbors I have spoken with who also live in earshot support the music there as well. I often see neighbors at the shows and it feels like a great place to connect and enjoy our community. Smaller venues like these provide a wider variety of music in our town. Outdoor shows at the amphitheater aren't an affordable option for many people in our town and The Volcanic, GoodLife and the Century Center provide alternatives to this. Live music truly adds to the quality of life here and makes Bend an amazing place to live, and access to the arts helps make our community a more vibrant place. I know many of my neighbors feel the same way. In fact, none of the neighbors I have spoken with were even aware that a mediation process had been occurring until this week.
