Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has appointed Cottage Grove businessman Don Nordin to the Lane Transit District Board of Directors. Nordin replaces former LTD Board member Mike Dubick and will represent LTD subdistrict 3 in southeast Eugene and southern Lane County.
Nordin is the owner of Equinox Industries. Equinox has pioneered convertible human powered trailer systems. These specialized bicycle trailers change into a stroller, jogging cart, ski sled, a kayak carrier, or to a garden cart.
He is graduate of the University of Wyoming and a former Peace Corps volunteer. He has served on a variety of boards including: the National Peace Corps, Cerro Gordo Cooperative, Cottage Grove planning commission, and Cottage Grove Community Sharing. Nodin is no stranger to LTD. He has served on the district’s budget committee for the past six years and played a leadership role in the expansion of LTD services to Cottage Grove in the late 1990’s.
Nordin officially joined the Board in June and his term will run through December 2019.
