More Info On NoPo

There are two little newspapers serving North Portland.

• In & About (great news features) Great New publisher who has been involved in NOPO for several years!
• St. Johns Review (mostly advertising and some community listings)

In response to "The new North Portland":

This project is limited to the 80+ acres of the former Columbia Villa development in the Portsmouth Neighborhood. There are several other public projects that are helping to spur development in North Portland. But don't confuse the efforts of HAP which are isolated to the HOPE VI project. When the HAP development is completed the total public & private investment will be somewhere nearer to $250 million. I'm actively involved in the New Columbia Citizen's process.

• The St. Johns/Lombard Plan
• Also, don't forget that soon, there will be huge investments ($2-3 billion) invested in widening I-5 and the I-5 bridge. This will most likely happen within the next 2-3 years and will be funded by State and Federal dollars according to my State Rep. Gary Hansen (D - 44)
