Are you interested in learning more about Portland's land use and development process? Neighborhood associations and leaders often are asked to respond to land use notices or to help neighbors who are struggling with a land use issue. Many neighborhoods have a land use chair or other volunteer who is the point person for responding to these requests. It can really help to learn more about how the land use system works and how to advocate for the community's interests most effectively. Also, it's often comforting and helpful to share experiences with other neighborhood activists facing the same challenges.
