Eugene is ready to take a big step forward by adopting our own urban growth boundary (UGB).  On March 7, 2017 the Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions will hold a work session on the UGB proposal and hear from the public.  At later meetings the Commissions will discuss and make a recommendation on UGB adoption.

You are encouraged to attend the work session and public hearing.  The work session will include a presentation about the UGB proposal followed by an open house with informational materials on display and available to take home.  People will have the opportunity to ask staff questions before speaking at the hearing.  The public hearing that follow offers members of the public the opportunity to provide verbal testimony to both Commissions.  Written testimony can be provided by email or regular mail (Envisioneugene@ci.eugene.or.us)
