For the first time in more than a decade, Eugene will have a true and functional city hall. Since 2012 due to concerns over a lack of seismic stability in the case of a severe earthquake all city employees have been spread out throughout downtown Eugene at leased space at Lane Community College and other buildings. Beginning this June, the somewhat nomadic city hall employees will head over to the new facility located at the the former EWEB riverfront Headquarters.
Today on Oregon On The Record, you’ll hear from Mayor Lucy Vinis and City Manager Sarah Medary about the process to make this new city hall a reality, the process for moving hundreds of employees over to the new building, and what finally having a true city hall – on the banks of the Willamette, will mean for Eugene.
