Economic Development
Conference on Community
and Worker Buyouts
The measure which created the
Oregon Lottery requires that the
net proceeds be devoted to the
state's economic development.
Among the economic develop
ment programs designed by the
1985 Oregon Legislature was Sen
ate Bill 666, which creates the
Oregon Stabilization and Conver
sion Fund. The purpose of the $2
million fund is to permit feasi
bility studies and partially fund
buyouts of closed mills and
plants, with first preference going
to community and worker buy
outs.
SB 666 offers direct hope to our
communities rocked by closures
of important local industries. It is
an imaginative piece of legislation
inspired by Beldon Daniels, MIT
consultant and international
banker. SB 666 places Oregon in
the forefront of states which are
taking up the challenges facing
local economies shattered by the
extensive international economic
restructuring now underway.
In order to familiarize con
cerned persons on the regional,
community, church and worker
level, two UO students, who fol
lowed the evolution of SB 666
while doing internships at the
1985 legislature, are working with
University, labor and church
groups to put together a national
level conference on worker and
community buyouts and SB 666 in
Eugene in the fall of this year.
If you or your group would like
to help organize a fall conference
on community and worker own
ership and SB 666, you may at
tend a meeting at Koinonia
Center, 1414 Kincaid on Thursday
evening, August 8 at 7:30 pm. For
more information, call Fergus at
344-9077 or John at 683-5683.

Have we had the last of the ‘1 am a vic

in your paper?
Please use the space for another film

Thanks.

Protest: Riverfront
Project
Dear Editor:
Eugene's small size, interest in and
support of small business, and close
community spirit attracted me to Eu
gene. Eugene is the most special place I
have lived in. I hear this often from other
Eugene residents; they feel it, too. The
Agenda/Riverfront Park Project will
ruin Eugene's specialness. Eugene will
become another ugly big city. I don't
want this. I want - Eugene, to remain
small, special, nurturing, vital and en
vironmentally aware.
The Eugene (Obie's) Agenda—Ri
verfront Research Park Project is be
ing "shared" with the people of Eugene
after its governmental body has al
ready decided its plan of action. This
is not involving the people's partici
pation. This shows a tremendous
social irresponsibility on the part of
our elected officials and public em
ployees.
I am convinced that the jobs/careers
involved in this proposed project will
be given to people outside Oregon.
Jobs here should go to the local people
—here..
Not long ago, many people entered
the computer/high tech field; the pro
mise was careers for everyone. Now
that field is in a slump. California's
Silicon Valley is an example. The peo
ple who devise and implement such
money-making schemes are not will
ing to really look at the long-term ef
fects of such a plan, at the destruction
it will cause.
I propose an alternative—small,
light industry encouraging local em
ployment. Use the millions of dollars
to be used for Obie's Agenda to en
courage small local entrepeneurs to
create new business in already-existing
structures, and to expand existing
business.
—Nan Cohen
