Building Community - Neighbors helping neighbors

We need your participation in the next phase of the Rosewood Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative, a project with Portland Development Commission to support the emerging Rosewood business district.

Join us this Wednesday, January 25th from 3-5pm for a visioning workshop. We will discuss and outline a vision for increasing the economic competitiveness of Rosewood. It is crucial at this stage to have a diverse range of perspectives and participation. Nick Sauvie from Rose Community Development Corporation will facilitate and we will have a Spanish interpreter to assist our conversation.

We hope you can make it! This work is in conjunction with our public safety efforts and is an important part of bringing in the resources that we need for long-term improvement in the Rosewood community. Thank you for continuing to be involved in Rosewood!
