The University Planning Committee will meet Friday in the EMU Coquille Room from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. to continue its review of the 2003 Development Policy for the East Campus Area.
The 20-year development plan includes several suggested projects for the Fairmount Neighborhood. Among these suggestions is a plan for the destruction of two-thirds of the homes in the area. These homes are primarily occupied by low-income University students with families.
This is the third meeting of the planning committee since January. Unlike earlier meetings, there will not be an opportunity for public questions or comments Friday.
After the development plan is finalized and the changes noted in the Fairmount Neighborhood refinement plan, the policy will be sent to the City of Eugene for approval.
Call the University Planning Office at 346-5562 for further information.
