SAVE THE DATE for this community meeting!
WHAT: Community Meeting
WHEN: Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025 from 2 to 3:30 pm
WHERE: River Road Community Center Multipurpose Room - 1400 Lake Dr., Eugene (google map)
Beyond Toxics is holding a community meeting on Sunday, January 26th, in partnership with Active Bethel Community, River Road Community Organization and Trainsong.
Members of the railroad workers union Local 471 will speak about their concerns and objections to plans for Class I Union Pacific to lease local rail yards and tracks to Class III Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad. The deal would give full control over rail yard operations and maintenance to a small and under-resourced company, as well as eliminate 40 union jobs in Eugene.
For more information, please see the attached zone decision notification and visit JusticeForTrainsong.org.
