We envision a society where everyone has equitable access to healthy food and clean air and water, and underserved communities are included in decision making processes that affect them. Together, we move beyond the damaging environmental practices of the past and collectively work to support and maintain ecological resilience and balance.

URGENT ACTION ALERT:
Speak Out to Stop the Biofuels Transfer Facility in Trainsong!
**This is the only official public comment opportunity for this issue!**
We must continue to stand up to stop the Biofuels Transfer Facility in Trainsong!
The biofuels transfer facility proposed in Trainsong threatens our community’s health, safety, and quality of life. This project would bring increased pollution, hazardous materials, and heavy traffic to our already overburdened neighborhoods in Trainsong, Bethel, and River Road. We cannot allow this to happen!
Even if you've submitted comments regarding this issue before, please submit your comments again to get your opinions in the public records!
The City will accept written testimony regarding the Eugene Clean Fuels Zone Verification application during the 14-day period beginning December 3, 2024 until 5:00 p.m. on December 17, 2024.
Written testimony may be submitted within the time frame specified above via the following methods: an email to JGepper@eugene-or.gov; or by mail or hand delivery to City of Eugene Planning Division, Atrium Building, 99 West 10th Avenue, Suite 290, Eugene, Oregon, 97401 (google map).
