Topic:
This October, the City Club of Eugene and the Springfield City Club are teaming up to present a two-part program series exploring the future of riverfront development in our region.
The first event, organized by the Springfield City Club, will be on October 2, with a dive into the Glenwood Master Plan Area, one of Springfield’s highest priority economic development projects.
The featured speaker, Allie Camp, leads the City of Springfield’s Economic Development team with more than a decade of public and private sector experience across land use, planning, transit, construction, and new development. Allie will walk us through the many puzzle pieces that make up Glenwood’s future — from infrastructure and redevelopment opportunities to partnerships and community engagement — and share how this area’s transformation could reshape Springfield’s riverfront.
Please note that this program is on Thursday, Oct. 2 at Roaring Rapids Pizza Company in Glenwood.
The second program, organized by the City Club of Eugene, will be on October 17 and will provide additional insights into riverfront development efforts on the other side of I-5. That program will feature Will Dowdy, Community Development Director for the City of Eugene, who will discuss the past, present, and future of the project, as well as additional panelists to be announced soon.
