Albina Vision Trust Gets Green Light | Portland News

Portland’s City Council just approved talks with Albina Vision Trust to develop city land near the Moda Center — a major milestone for the group rebuilding Lower Albina, once a thriving Black community shattered by I-5 and urban renewal. With their first affordable housing project, Albina One, already open, this move brings their 94-acre revitalization plan closer to reality. Community leaders and business owners rallied behind the effort, framing it as reparative justice. Now, Albina Vision Trust will draft a proposal for the vacant land — currently two parking lots — while the city also negotiates a $600M public investment to renovate the arena.
