The annual Neighborhood Summit is almost here! The summit, which is sponsored by the City of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement, will be held at Parkrose High School, 12003 NE Shaver Street on Saturday, March 3 from 9 am to 3 pm. It is free to all Portland residents.

This year officials expect as many as 200 local residents to attend the summit.

There will be morning and afternoon workshops and lunch provided. Workshop topics include crime prevention efforts that work; getting local small grants; dealing with nuisance issues; recruiting and retaining volunteers; coping with growth & density; auto traffic & mass transit; local school closures & education; race relations; and more.
