New NoPo Website!

There's a new website devoted for North Portland business and community members, featuring community events and news, online discussions and neighborhood information:

I work for the City of Portland's Office of Neighborhood Involvement and have been involved in the deployment of a new online tool for residents and those who do business in North Portland. It is a new Website that a was designed with the intent of connecting neighbors to neighbors and giving community members another means with which to connect with City staff to resolve neighborhood issues. A key tool offered by this site is a forum called the "Back Fence." It is a place where individuals can post items of interest and have discussions about issues in their neighborhoods. There are also a number of City staff who have volunteered to participate in this forum to help offer suggestions and answer questions to their area of expertise. I encourage you to check it out. The site is still in it's infancy and we are looking for input from community members such as yourself that like to use the Web to communicate.
