Join volunteers, residents and civic leaders in celebrating the grand opening of the NE 72nd Avenue Community Garden, part of Verde’s Let Us Build Cully Park! project.
The Thomas Cully Park project is a collaboration of local organizations working to create a park in Portland’s Cully Neighborhood, a low-income area where residents have limited access to environmental spaces. Intertwine Alliance partner Vigil- Agrimis has developed the Master Plan and Phase One of the project, which incorporates a community-based approach to creating employment and educational opportunities. Verde, together with contractor and workforce partners, constructs Phase One from July 2012 to June 2015.
Designed by students at Scott School, the NE 72nd Avenue Community Garden is Phase One’s first completed improvement. At 2pm, City Commissioner Dan Saltzman and Scott School Principal Verenice Gutierrez will be speaking along with representatives from: the Portland Parks& Recreation, Vibrant Village Foundation, Northwest Health Foundation and Kaiser Permanente.
