Have a lovely day, Kimberly
Coordinated Downtown Developments
As many of you know, a Joint Staff Task Force on coordinat-ed downtown development has formed. The task force consists of City, County and State Court staff, an independent facilitator, and tech-nical consultants.
Over the course of a 12-week process, they are exploring oppor-tunities and providing information to the City Council and Board of County Commissioners regarding possible collaborative concepts spe-cifically having to do with use of pub-licly owned properties and the siting of a new City Hall, a new Court-house and a year-round, stable Farm-ers Market space.
Saturday Market is recognized as a major stakeholder in this dis-cussion given our proximity to the properties being discussed, our rec-ognized value to Lane County and the City of Eugene and the synergy between Lane County Farmers Mar-ket and Saturday Market.
On Tuesday this week, your Board Chair, a multi-committee member and myself attended a joint elected officials meeting and I made some comments on behalf of Satur-day Market. On Friday, your Board Chair, Board Secretary (who is also chair of SM’s Downtown Develop-ments Task Force) and I attended a meeting with members of the Joint Staff Task Force present, as well as other high-level City and County staff. We discussed Saturday Mar-
ket’s priorities, values and concerns regarding possible scenarios for de-velopment that the Joint Staff Task Force is exploring and we also talked about improvements that we can envision on the Park Blocks with the Urban Renewal dollars that are available. We are being heard.
To get involved in information that gets carried forward in future meetings with City and County, please check out Saturday Market’s Downtown Developments Task Force meetings and you may also fol-low along with the City and Coun-ty’s joint task force on their websites.
Change in our neighborhood understandably can raise fears, but it is also an incredible opportunity for us to improve our Park Blocks home and to strengthen our relationships with our local partners.

Farmers Market UpdateHappy autumn! Over at the Lane
County Farmers Market we’re start-ing to have winter squashes, and we’re preparing for a festive Holiday Farm-ers Market at the fairgrounds.
As you’re likely aware, the City and County Joint Elected Officials have formed a task force that’s con-sidering where to locate a new City Hall and County Courthouse in downtown Eugene. They are working on a 12-week timeline to determine goals, gather data, evaluate options and present a final report - with of-ficials making a decision on Novem-ber 15th. The farmers market leader-ship has met with the task force and discussed how the options will affect the siting of an expanded, permanent farmers market site downtown.
