Portland is known as a city made up of neighborhoods. Charming commercial streets are scattered across the metro area interspersed with residential blocks – one only needs to think of SE Hawthorne, N Mississippi, NW 23rd, or NE Alberta Arts District to see that Portland is serious about its neighborhood commercial revitalization. Community preservation organizers and business developers are about to get some more help jump starting and revitalizing historical areas, as three Portland neighborhoods have been selected to participate in Portland Main Street®, (No, not Portland, Maine Street) a neighborhood commercial district revitalization program based on the very successful Main Street® approach used in cities across America.
