New Development for Martin Luther King Jr Blvd Planned

Posted on by

MLK-SkidmoreThe North-Northeast Economic Development Alliance (NNEDA) and the Portland Family of Funds (PFF) invite local community members and other inner NE Portland stakeholders to the OAME conference room to review the redevelopment concept plans for the former Lutheran services facility site located on NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and NE Skidmore.

PFF is an investment firm that has participated in a dozen projects in Portland, including four in NE Portland: Vanport Square, Kings Crossing, Oregon Medical Clinic, and the Community Transition School. PFF utilizes numerous financing programs, including the New Markets Tax Credit program, to facilitate the development of community-based projects in distressed communities.

NNEDA and PFF would like to offer local residents and stakeholders an early opportunity to review and comment on the schematic design plans for developing an education- and family housing-based project on the former Lutheran site at the corner of NE Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and NE Skidmore. Come hear from the project team about their vision for the site, and provide your feedback on their design plans for implementing that vision.

This project is intended to create an attractive and exciting private development that focuses on building community capacity through the co-location and collaboration of education, family housing and community services within a single facility.

Please join us on the evening of September 23rd to hear more about the plans for this project and to share your thoughts and suggestions for the concept and plans.

Find out what is going on with negotiations to complete development of the Vanport Project on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between Alberta and Killingsworth.  The heart of the King Neighborhood and the key to a vibrant commercial center, the Vanport Project has seen many false starts over the years and has struggled to land an anchor tenant to begin construction at the Alberta Corner.  If you can’t make the meeting, the Association has our own representative on the committee who can give us an update at the Association’s meeting.
