Foster-Lents Integration Partnership

The Foster-Lents Integration Partnership is a collaboration among public agencies, community groups and non-profit partners working together to improve economic, environmental, and social conditions in the Lents, Foster-Powell, Mount Scott-Arleta, and Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhoods. The Partnership will develop the Foster Corridor Investment Strategy which is a coordinated, prioritized, and implementable set of actions for the Foster Corridor from SE 52nd Avenue to SE 122nd Avenue. This project will develop a sustainable infrastructure and neighborhood-based job creation strategy to guide stakeholders and investors, that:

• Respects the views and values of residents and businesses;
• Identifies immediate projects and partners to create jobs and revitalize the Foster Corridor, and;
• Leverages private sector investment.

• Integrated capital improvement plan for infrastructure
