FPNA appeals PGE project in Forest Park
The city recently decided to allow PGE to clearcut 4.7 acres of mature forest and build new power lines in Forest Park. We think the decision is wrong, so FPNA is appealing this decision. Read more here…
Forest Park Neighborhood Association provides a forum for neighbors to discuss issues and concerns that effect the neighborhood including land use issues, wildlife and habitat protection, noxious weed removal, fire safety, traffic concerns and city/regional government concerns and policy. The Portland metropolitan area is growing which means increased pressure for development as well as all the other factors that accompany a burgeoning population. FPNA automatically receives land use notices about development within its boundaries and can appeal decisions at the city level without charge.
