Steam Plant Redevelopment Opportunity!

The Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Eugene is excited to announce the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the redevelopment of the historic Steam Plant. The Steam Plant has the potential to connect Eugene's future to its past. As part of the Downtown Riverfront redevelopment, the EWEB Riverfront Master Plan emphasizes the community's wish to reveal the “layers of history” embedded in the site to create this special, historically significant place. Its unique position as an icon of Eugene’s industrial past and location within 50 feet of the top of the riverbank calls for the plant to be preserved and repurposed as an important historical landmark at the east end of the Downtown Riverfront property.


The Agency is seeking the right team of visionaries and community-minded people who have the capacity to bring the Steam Plant into the next phase of its life. Responses to the RFQ are due June 11.
