We are trying to fight the sale of a public park to a private developer.
The City of Portland would like to sell Congress Square Park to Rockbridge Capital, which is renovating a hotel adjacent to the park, in order for them to build an Event Center. This park is in the heart of Portland's Arts District and is a pivotal breath of fresh air along our urban spine, which we call Congress Street.
Currently, it is poorly designed and the city cannot see behind the dollar bills and quick fix. We feel that a redesigned park will better serve the people of Portland, our visitors, and the future in terms of a space to exchange ideas, practice democracy, and boost the local economy. We are looking for ideas to represent and broaden the possibilities and realities of the park.
