The City of Portland, The Trust for Public Land, and Portland Trails
announced on July 16th that they will launch a citywide open spaces
assessment and comprehensive planning initiative. The effort will engage
interested organizations and residents in achieving a holistic vision for a
system of fully functional open spaces. Those would include green
spaces, city parks, gardens, and trails. Portland Trails announced that it
was recently awarded an $18,000 grant by the Lerner Foundation for the
initiative.
This past March, the City of Portland requested technical assistance
from The Trust for Public Land – a leading national nonprofit land
conservation organization – to help create a vision and a plan for the
City’s open spaces and parks.
