Good morning, Lookout Eugene-Springfield,

No surprise, the e-commerce facility out by the airport is indeed Amazon. The project could generate millions in property taxes for Eugene.

Lane County Commission Chair David Loveall gave the State of the County address yesterday, highlighting the problems facing the region. He said government alone can’t fix the problems. Ben Botkin reports.

Michael Zhang has a profile of Bill Clum, Lane Transit District customer service supervisor, who oversees LTD’s lost and found. Clum says odder items lost on LTD’s buses include a prosthetic leg and a $3,500 collectible card set.

As the reality of January sets in, Lookout has a list of places to warm up, including hot springs, dining spots with fireplaces along with saunas and spas. Have others to add to the list? Let us know.
