Save Downtown Arbor Lodge Fundraising Appeal
ALNA ask for your support as we mount a legal challenge to a proposed project at 6545 N Denver, on the northwest corner of Rosa Parks in the heart of downtown Arbor Lodge. Our goal is for the redevelopment of this prime lot to include ground floor commercial space. Visit our campaign page here: http://www.arborlodgeneighborhood.com/p/save-downtown.html
The ANLA must raise funds to fight back against a development team solely motivated by self-interest who will not consider the long-term impact of their project on our community.
If you support housing opportunity AND you support vibrant, walkable neighborhoods, join us as we stand up for Arbor Lodge!
If you'd like to meet with us in person, we will be hosting an informational happy hour at
Look Long Brewing6550 N Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97217Friday September 27th 5:30-7pm.
