<br />Three Neighborhoods Nominated for National Award <br />The national organization Neighborhoods USA (http://www.nusa.org) has selected a joint entry by three Eugene <br />neighborhood associations as a finalist in the 2011 Neighborhood of the Year competition. Jefferson Westside <br />Neighbors (JWN), South University Neighborhood Association (SUNA) and West University Neighbors (WUN) <br />worked together closely on the organizations’ “Heritage Crescent Neighborhood Livability Project” which culminated <br />with development standards adopted into City code to ensure infill and redevelopment would be compatible with <br />each neighborhood’s character and would contribute positively to the surrounding neighborhood’s livability. The <br />submitted application is available online at http://www.eugene-or.gov/nassociations. <br /> <br />By reaching the finalist stage in NUSA’s “Multi-Neighborhood Partnership” category, the three-neighborhood <br />partnership has been invited to send representatives to present their project at NUSA’s annual convention in <br />Anchorage on May 25 - 28. NUSA judges will select winners in three categories and then pick a Grand Prize <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Founded in 1975, NUSA is the largest non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to sharing information and <br />experiences to build stronger communities. NUSA encourages networking and information sharing as a way to <br />facilitate the development of partnerships between neighborhood organizations, government and the private sector. <br />Eugene has been selected to host the 2014 NUSA convention. <br /> <br />For more information, please contact Michael Kinnison, City Manager’s Office, at 541-682-5009 or <br />michael.j.kinnison@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />March 17, 2011 <br />
