They feel that between the park's site and the University's research capabilities, they want us to get back to them with 'more infor mation in'the future." ; Currently, the partnership also is marketing Willow Creek, and although she admits the park has booh slow to',■ develop, Dietmeyer still is optimistic about the park’s future. "It’s one of the best sites we have to offer," she says. "Prospects have been very impressed with-it.V ; ' v'.C ■ Diet nmyer' says theVW U tow Clreiik Park .and the Ri verfront Kest'areh Park arel totally'different! "The riverfront will be more for sniall. burgeon i n g research and development com panies that need very limited space. Companies that need 50,00b square feet7 to manufacture electrenit;. components, they’ll lie looking at Willow Creek.” Although the parks are on two different scales, they do share the aura of "high-tech," a recurring buzzword that to many means an ideal of economic development without heavy, noisy or smelly effects. Karl Eysenhach, a member of the Metropolitan Area Planning Advisory Committee, sees the two parks working hand-in-hand. "At the riverfront project they would bo doing pro totypes. coming up with hew computer programs, hardware, new biotechnology agents It would be logical for research operations at the riverfront to locate manufacturing al Willow Creek once the riverfront park was up and cooking." The park should encourage local entrepreneurs instead of recruiting firms from outside the area. Eysenhach adds.

John Davis of Crosspoint Systems, a computer electronics company, says his firm pro laihly can't wait for the riverfront project to get off the ground. But when he toured the Willow Creek site, Davis said the out-of-town location and the slightly industrial setting were substantial drawbacks. "I know the research park is controversial, hut if it were ever developed along the Willamette, it would be a perfect place for my company.” Man us says. "Because Eugene is the way it is, it could take five to 10 years, though "We re very happy out at Willow ('reek Park, but if we ever did-have a working relationship with the University, it would work two ways where we could la* talking to pro fessors that would lie right across the road. . .and it would be a terrific place for students to intern,” says Marcus, also a University alumnus.

"The nut! reason for fating in the park would be to utilize the University and to work with the University If we started getting into research and development, it would he nice be ing near the University, It would be ideal if you could just walk over to campus. ” V0T8 WCDNC 80A V OR THURSDAY MHV YOU* US VOTE ON #11 IS CRIMCAl: FACT: Yff on #11 and No on #10 will lead to * guaranteed reduction In your studoftf tlCMi prices lo SI.00 for n#«t year's Oregon football *nS students have backed the placing of IMi Initiative on the ballot.
