JACKSON,

One potential change (seen above) up for discussion is turning Walery Blaza into a true focal
point and community gathering space. .
RIVER RD: New docs show
off big possibilities
(Continued from Page A1)
The plan presents three
possible scenarios: building
out based on current regula-
tions and zoning, putting in
place effi ciency measures to
promote more intense devel-
opment or a greater range of
housing options, or upzoning
certain areas to increase the
amount or type of develop-
ment that could occur.
Some of the effi ciency
measures under consideration
include:
• Rezoning commercial
zones to mixed use.
• Increasing the types of
development permitted under
mixed use zoning.
• Reducing landscaping re-
quirements.
• Reducing front and rear
setbacks.
• Reducing parking re-
quirements.
• And, allowing smaller lot
widths.
The city also recently re-
leased a draft of public invest-
ment opportunities within
the commercial corridors.
Some of the suggestions
are:
• Establishing a Mainstreet
Program that focuses on
community value issues like
aesthetics, cleanliness, wayfi n-
ding and event hosting.
• Establishing an econom-
ic development department
that focuses on building and
expanding local business,
supporting workforce devel-
opment and advocating for
quality of life.
• Developing public park-
ing lots.
• Design and implement
streetscaping plans that pro-
mote vibrancy and multi-
modal transportation.
• Enhancing and beautify-
ing Claggett Creek near the
Lockhaven/River Road in-
tersection.
• Improving the Wheat-
land/River Road intersec-
tion.
• Sidewalk upgrades.
• Developing a north/
south bike pathway parallel to
River Road North.
• And, putting in a public
plaza in the area around the
city’s annual Christmas tree.
being involved, knowing who
was in my son’s orbit,” she said.
She also got involved in
the Parent-Teacher Club and
helped the organization achieve
independence as a non-profi t
while streamlining the behind-
the-scenes work. She spear-
headed the fundraising and
installation of the sign that still
sits out in front of the school
– a process that included nav-
igating procedure within the
school district, the city of Keiz-
er and neighbors. She even
convinced the installer to move
it to her preferred location after
it ended up getting anchored in
the wrong place.
“Every time I drive by it,
which isn’t all that often, I still
think it’s in the spot where it
belongs,” Jackson said.
She still does the account-
ing for the group more than a
decade after her youngest son,
Cody, completed his stint at
Gubser.
“I do it because my profes-
sion is keeping track of num-
bers and its easy for me, but it’s
super-valuable to them. It has a
big impact. I’m impacting all of
those families,” Jackson said.
When Nicholas graduated
from McNary High School,
Jackson fostered the annual
graduation party group’s tran-
sition to non-profi t status and
continues to make sure that no
one overspends the budget.
She’s seen all of the time she
spent with Rotary and the ar-
ea’s chambers of commerce re-
turned in spades. When Nich-
olas and Cody began talking
about careers in engineering
and dentistry, fel-
low Rotarians and
business associates
helped ensure the
boys knew what
they were getting
into.
All the while,
AccurAccounts
has been growing.
When she pur-
chased the com-
pany it had 30
clients. It has 180 and six em-
ployees now.
Which brings us to the
second thing that note in the
meeting room signals: Jackson
is a meticulous planner. The
reason she gave up the treasurer
slot at Rotary was because she
and husband Randy had anoth-
er engagement on her calendar
coming up: Cody. She’d put his
expected arrival in her planner.
“The planner has been the
key to my success,” she said.
From tee-ball to McNary’s
varsity baseball team, Cody
only ever had one scorekeeper,
his mom. If a game got rained
out or rescheduled, her business
clients had to choose anoth-
er time to meet. She stuck to
her kids’ commitments above
all else.
“You can’t live only thinking
about how much money you’re
going to make. The things I’ve
made time for are the things
I enjoy doing, and they’ve al-
lowed me to make connections
I otherwise wouldn’t have,” she

said.
Despite the lengthy list of
involvement, she was surprised
to be named as Keizer’s First
Citizen at a Keizer Chamber of
Commerce banquet
in January.
“There are so
many that give back
and who are much
more visible. I’m
happy to help one
person through my
business, but I want-
ed to help more
people,” she said.
However, when
it came time to de-
liver an impromptu speech, she
had no hesitation.
“Rotary and business has
taught me about relationships,
and then you have a family that
supports you. When I got up
on that stage, I was talking to
my family,” Jackson said.
