North Precinct will participating in a community gathering on Wednesday, June 12th 2019, in the Lloyd neighborhood to unveil the summer 2019 Holladay Park Safety Plan. This plan involves a community led effort to bring numerous community and governmental organizations to the Lloyd neighborhood, specifically Holladay Park. Through the efforts of all the partners involved in this safety plan, the collaboration will bring a constant presence of prosocial activities and resources to the park in order to engage all citizens, especially our youth.

This plan was created with input from community members, stakeholders and members of local, state and federal governments. Some of the organizations who are involved in this plan are: the Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church, SOLVE, Portland Parks and Recreation, Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, Rosewood Initiative, Portland OIC, Portland Public Schools, Transit Police Division, Bonneville Power Administration, Federal Protective Services, Portland Police Bureau, Providence Health Care, Connected, Church of Scientology, Portland 5, Lloyd EcoDistrict and Oregon Youth Authority.

While discussing this plan, Pastor J.W. Matt Hennessee of the Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church and member of Connected said "I am very excited to be a part of this collaborative group. The work that will be completed this summer will be meaningful towards improving the Lloyd neighborhood."

About the plan, Kris Carico of SOLVE said "SOLVE is dedicated to bringing community members together to take care of our parks and neighborhoods, and that's exactly what we'll be doing this summer. We look forward to working alongside committed volunteers to keep the Lloyd District clean and healthy."

Community members and the media are invited to attend a meeting of this group on Wednesday, June 12th at 12:00 p.m. held at the DoubleTree by Hilton in the Mount Bachelor Community Room. Everyone is then invited to attend the BBQ outside in Holladay Park once the meeting concludes.
