Morning Lookout: Developer eyes Main Street in Springfield, Bellotti looks back on UO-OSU

Good morning, Lookout Eugene-Springfield,

The city of Springfield and Obie Companies are in conversation about the development of an apartment building on a city-owned parking lot on Main Street. Obie Companies has developed several notable properties in Eugene, but this would be the company’s first project in Springfield. Lillian Schrock-Clevenger reports.

Mike Bellotti has seen the highs and lows of the Oregon-Oregon State rivalry. With the game about to go on pause, the former Ducks coach looks back on foggy nights, statement wins and Phil Knight’s legacy. Bellotti spoke with Tyson Alger.

Things to do this weekend: A stamp expo, roving grammar advice and ‘Twilight’ in concert. Annie Aguiar offers her weekly sampling of arts and culture events in Eugene for Sept. 18-24 — and an extra event you can join us at next week.

In other news, the district attorney will decide whether to file charges in the Walmart parking lot shooting Sept. 5. And the Eugene Education Foundation has set an ambitious fundraising goal for itself, as 4J faces a major budget gap.
