In 2009, the Community Development Department worked with Winterbrook Planning and a dedicated Advisory Committee of local citizens to develop an Economic Opportunities Analysis for Cottage Grove.

The 2009 Cottage Grove Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) assesses the City's comparative economic advantages in a regional context, identifies commercial and industrial employment opportunities; describes site requirements for targeted types of employment; and determines whether the existing UGB has enough, and the right kind of, employment sites to meet the City's economic development objectives. The EOA determined that the City of Cottage Grove will need to add approximately 100 acres of employment land to its Urban Growth Boundary to meet commercial and industrial needs through 2030.

We have now begun an Urbanization Study to explore how we might meet the needs identified in the EOA. The goal of the study will be to decide how and where Cottage Grove can grow to meet our citizen’s needs for job growth and development. The study will meet Statewide planning Goal 14 requirements and result in urban growth boundary amendments to be presented to the Cottage Grove City Council and the Lane County Board of County Commissioners.

We have formed an Advisory Committee to assist staff on this project. The committee has met several times over the spring/summer of 2010.

We have also developed a stakeholder list. Stakeholders receive regular updates on the project, including notices of each meeting. If you are interested in being on the Stakeholder List, please e-mail City Planner Amanda Ferguson at planner@cottagegrove.org or call the Community Development Department Office at 942-3340.

The final phase of this project will include public hearings before the Cottage Grove Planning Commission and Lane County Planning Commission in October, 2010, and before the Cottage Grove City Council and Lane County Board of County Commissioners in January-March 2011.
