Partners Learn About Mississippi Street Revitalization Efforts

(From the December 2006 Newsletter)

SVPP partners had an opportunity to attend a stimulating partner conversation evening held at the Albina Community Bank on November 29. Albina Bank is an SVPP partner and the Bank's President and CEO, Bob McKean, made a presentation titled Economic Development: A Study of Portland's Newly Hip & Revitalized Mississippi Street. Bob provided the attendees an excellent perspective of the history and driving forces that shaped the economic development efforts of this Portland community which is enjoying considerable vibrancy and excitement. Many thanks to Bob and his staff at the Albina Community Bank for hosting this informative and enjoyable event.
