Thank you for getting involved in Oregon’s land use future

June 24 alert: No freight facility in residential area without community input

Your neighbors need your voice! 1000 Friends of Oregon, Neighbors for Clean Air, and Northwest Environmental Defense Center filed a petition with LUBA seeking review of the City of Portland’s decision to issue building permits for the controversial Prologis freight warehouse slated for operation on the former Kmart site at NE 122nd and Sandy in Portland.

Help us tell decision-makers that we won’t rest until the City of Portland and Prologis agree to the settlement conditions collected from our community input survey. They include common-sense changes regarding traffic safety, heat reduction, environmental issues, and noise.
