It can definitely fit on a 108,900 SF site…

It amazes me a group with no standing can block a project that will expand research on the U of O campus and create jobs even after a two year process that went to LUBA. Is there no leadership in Eugene to tell a group of obstructionist no growth, anti business, anti everything to go away? Only two buildings built in 22 years? That is a bad joke.

I am sure Springfield would accommodate ORI. Eugene ran their hospital and other businesses out of town…looks like ORI is next. Will the last business that leaves Eugene, please turn the lights out?
