From the City Club of Eugene:

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.

This second program, organized by the City Club of Eugene, took place October 17 at noon at the WoW Hall and provides additional insights into riverfront development efforts on the other side of I-5.

This program features Will Dowdy, Community Development Director for the City of Eugene, who discusses the past, present, and future of the project.

Mr. Dowdy is joined by James L. Atkins, who focuses his remarks on the development of residential real estate along the waterfront, including some of the significant challenges that have emerged amidst the extraordinary opportunity of building a new neighborhood.
