The US Army Corps of Engineers will share their tentative plans to make our local levee system more reliable and resilient in January
We’ll let you know as soon as the draft report has been released. In the meantime, please save the date for one of these upcoming community meetings. Join the Corps to hear about, discuss, and give feedback on the plan on:
FAIRVIEW COMMUNITY MEETING Thursday, January 16, 2020 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. City of Fairview Council Chambers 1300 NE Village Street Fairview, OR 97024 |
PORTLAND COMMUNITY MEETING Thursday, January 23, 2020 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 Expo Center 2060 N Marine Drive Portland, OR 97217 |
If you can’t make it to one of these community meetings, LRC will host more casual drop-in sessions where you can come speak with staff in a smaller group setting:
NE PORTLAND DROP IN Saturday, January 25, 2020 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Café Eleven 435 NE Rosa Parks Way Portland, OR 97211 |

Or, if you’d like to have someone join your neighborhood association or community group to discuss the study and other local efforts to modernize our local flood safety system along the Columbia River, please contact us at leveeready@gmail.com.
