At its last meeting, the Eugene Natural History Society Board discussed ways of contributing to the University committee that is currently reviewing the status of the Riverfront Research park. We agreed that the Society will write a letter to that committee stating that we are against any further development on either side of the railroad tracks and would much prefer that the Research Park project be terminated. We also decided to encourage our members to write the committee as individuals and that will be announced at our next general meeting on May 15th, at which one of the Univ. Committee members, Paul Engelking, will briefly speak on this topic. The Committee will be receiving public testimony through May 28th and comments will be received via e-mail at rrpreview@lists.uoregon.edu or by mail to Riverfront Research park review Committee, c/o Theodore Palmer, Department of Mathematics, University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403. |
