Since the ambitious proposal to redevelop 10 city blocks surrounding the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry was first presented in August of 2022, a coalition of city, state, and Tribal leaders, has been hard at work to get the OMSI District Master Plan approved. That day has come.
A key component of the vision will be the Center for Tribal Nations and Waterfront Education Park , which will restore the Indigenous community’s presence on the Willamette River, while also providing public green spaces, revitalized natural habitats, and hands-on outdoor science programming.
Next, the proposal must get authorization from the Portland City Council.
