Subcommittee Formation <br /> <br />The City Managers from Eugene and Springfield along with the Lane County <br />Administrator support the formation of a JEO Economic Response Team. It is <br />recommended that the committee be charged with answering three key questions <br />and report back to the JEO at a future meeting. The three questions are: (1) What <br />can be done to address the community as a whole? (2) What can be done to protect <br />current businesses in our region? and (3) What does the future of economic <br />development look like for our region? <br /> <br />The purpose of the subcommittee is to review these questions and provide <br />plausible answers to each and to provide leadership in the development of an <br />Economic Summit in cooperation with other agencies who have similar interests. <br /> <br />Currently there are several private and governmental groups with similar economic <br />development concerns. It is suggested that the subcommittee engage these groups <br />in the dialogue. Groups such as the Lane Metro Partnership, the Chambers of <br />Eugene and Springfield, the Lane Economic Committee, and the University of <br />Oregon, to name a few. <br /> <br />The vitality of our area is dependent upon our economy, and the members of this <br />subcommittee can be instrumental in providing not only a path to future economic <br />development but maintaining the development we have in our region. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
