Sounds like maybe a pay to play article.

Is there any expansion to the museum itself with the development proposal?

There will be a online presentation tomorrow at 12PM about the proposed Center for Tribal Nations.

The Center for Tribal Nations is a mixed-use development that aims to leverage the redevelopment of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) masterplan to establish a collaborative partnership between Native and non-Native organizations, Tribal and non-tribal governments into an integrated project that will restore Native peoples' connection to the Willamette River and address challenges of sustainability, resilience and inclusion.

In celebrating diverse perspectives the Center for Tribal Nations emerges as a place where stories are shared, cultural education thrives, and community strength subtly becomes an integral part of a project that strives for regeneration indigenous knowledge. Together, we embrace the power of collective voices, fostering a project that stands as a symbol of inclusivity, and collaboration, much like the delicate beauty found in the art of basketry.

The Center for Tribal Nations will consist of two high rise towers resting on a podium that contains a Urban Ceremonial Grounds, a Conference Space, Native Food Hall, Cultural/Art Workspaces, and a Central Utility Plant (CUP) serving the OMSI district. Each tower will have a different function with one tower as Hotel/Hospitality/Multi-Family Housing and the second tower will be a Workplace/Clinics/Medical and Social entrepreneurial spaces.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Portland City Council unanimously approved a $500,000 grant from Oregon Metro Wednesday to fund the groundwork for restoring the Eastbank Crescent waterfront property located between the Hawthorne and Marquam Bridges.

The project aims to restore the riverbank’s natural environment and create a space for the future development of a waterfront park on the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry property. OMSI Real Estate Vice President Preston Greene said that OMSI plans to support the city’s plans for the riverbank.

That would be a lot better than what is there now.

No doubt this is an improvement, but it's sad that this is the discussion we're having about revitalizing east bank. Would love to see a much more ambitious vision for this area.

Portland and ambition go together like lamb and tuna fish.

There can be a fine line between ambitious and realistic. This is a very beautiful upgrade to that area of the east bank and being located right beside OMSI will likely make this a very popular spot, rather than a pass through. I personally like this plan and hope the ambition get focussed on the east side of the freeway with the OMSI district coming to fruition. I feel if we want ambitious plans for everything, we will continue to see these and other projects fall flat. It's not a great time for a lot of ambition in the development world if you want something to actually happen.
