You are invited to a Community Open House for draft design concepts of the
Rexius site on Thursday, May 6 from 6-8:30 pm in the Churchill High
cafeteria.

Rexius has been working with the Community Planning Workshop at the
University of Oregon to develop a concept plan for the possible
redevelopment of their site at Bailey Hill and W 11th. An Architecture
design studio has taken site research and public opinion from interviews and
focus groups to create redevelopment concepts for Rexius.

The Open House is an opportunity for community members to learn about
Rexius's possible redevelopment plans and to provide input on the design
concepts. Five studio teams will present their designs during an event with
refreshments, input stations, and formal presentation.

We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your thoughts on issues,
opportunities, and visions for your neighborhood.

Please address any questions or comments to Patty Stevenson at
pstevens (at) uoregon.edu.

Thank you.

Eugene, OR (April 30, 2009) — The West Eugene Collaborative has

The 27-member West Eugene Collaborative includes west Eugene business

The purpose of the West Eugene Collaborative has been to “develop an

community, business and the environment.”
