Saving Lloyd Center

Lloyd Center is slated to be demolished if business leaders and developers in Portland have their way, Their plan is to demolish the entire mall to make way for a mixture of housing, commercial developments, “green space” and new throughways.

On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Sarah Taylor with the Braided River Gallery in Lloyd Center, about the community-led Alternative Plan that prioritizes adaptive reuse of present day Lloyd Center. This plan avoids wasteful demolition and environmental impacts, invests in Portland’s distinctly creative culture, and preserves the integral part of Lloyd Center for current and future generations to enjoy.
