Bethel Area Neighborhood Planning
We are creating a neighborhood plan for the Bethel area that relies heavily on community engagement, utilizes clear and objective processes, and supports increased community engagement. By participating in the planning process, residents will increase their capacity to understand and address issues impacting their neighborhood.
The planning process is lead by the Office of Equity & Community Engagement (OECE) and advised by residents and neighborhood groups. The planning process will also include other partners such as school districts, businesses, and nonprofits. Additional stakeholders will be identified through the planning process.
This process is aligned with the following City of Eugene Strategic Plan focus areas and strategic goals:
Urgent Community Needs
- Stabilizing the cost of housing
- Increasing sense of safety
- Improving support for local businesses
Culture of Belonging
- Strengthening relationships within the whole community; with emphasis on the inclusion of the most traditionally marginalized groups.
Communication and Outreach
- Improving community awareness and understanding of priority topics.
- Engaging with a broader cross-section of the community.
