FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY IN EUGENE, OREGON

Part of Eugene’s self-improvement involves giving a leg up to business owners within the city, which is why there’s a City of Eugene Business Development Fund (BDF). Using money from a federal grant, BDF has lent $18 million to over 230 Eugene businesses, creating more than 1,300 jobs since its inception. Funds can be used toward acquiring land, updating buildings, purchasing equipment and/or inventory, and much more.

Government, higher education, and businesses in Oregon have come together to create the Regional Accelerator and Innovation Network (RAIN), an initiative that supports innovative companies and helps them grow. RAIN is a partnership between the Eugene Chamber of Commerce and The University of Oregon. This partnership is bent on creating and retaining jobs in Eugene—as well as a few neighboring cities—and growing wealth and opportunities in the region.

Eugene has a reputation for being a very green city, and its sustainability programs maintain that. The city offers its businesses and residents incentives and assistance through its Green Building Program, a faction of the Sustainability Commission, with the goal of making green building and living practices the standard in Eugene. The Green Building Program educates people about how to cut waste, lower energy consumption, and conserve resources, all of which result in money saved for the home- or business-owner. A huge part of Eugene’s culture involves living a healthy life and making it not only possible, but easy, for generations to come to live a healthy life too.

Eugene is a city that is committed to self-improvement. From everything to the University of Oregon to the many economic stimulus programs to the citywide green initiatives, Eugene wants health, happiness, and success for its residents and its businesses.
