Together with the community, 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 develop an understanding of issues impacting their neighborhood and come up with an action plan that is reasonable and actionable.

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 takes an integrated approach to planning and will identify ways to connect community needs and priorities to current local and regional plans for implementation or other meaningful ways to make progress. This plan also 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.
