A City of Portland Committee that included NO owners of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings is proposing that over 1600 one to three story URM buildings be required to accomplish and pay for significant upgrades. Several of them are on Hawthorne and in nearby business districts. Some Districts will be decimated by the potential sales, demolition and construction of new, quite possibly, out of context structures. Go to Save Portland Buildings saveportlandbuildings.com.
Please read the information, attend the below meetings and write letters to the Commissioners.
