Each of us has a vision of what we'd like the future to be. It is something we hold close as we work to make tomorrow better than yesterday. Today, Albina Vision Trust asks you to share your vision. We want to make sure your voice is heard, and that we design the future of Albina together, honoring the district's history and African-American/Black community roots, and celebrating it into the future.

It's time. Time to make decisions about the future of Albina as a home and place of joy for Portland's Black communities. Time to determine what that means as we move forward with the design phase of this Community Investment Project. We've talked about joy, vitality, community, safety and legacy in our prior workshops, and now we - Albina Vision Trust and you, the community - are headed into establishing how we incorporate these details into a successful design.
