Task force takes on sustainability

The group is part of an initiative to improve the economy while protecting natural resources

A 2004 community survey conducted by the City of Eugene found that the most important problem facing Eugene was economic development. The latest economic indicators index is at its lowest mark since October 2004. In response to these statistics, Mayor Kitty Piercy has recently created a new, 16-member task force under the Sustainable Business Initiative to help expand and develop business and job opportunities by soliciting ideas from local businesses, the public and sustainability experts.

“We’re here to take the step to make Eugene a more sustainable place,” Piercy said about the new Sustainable Economic Development Task Force.
