ADX is proud to announce a partnership with the Lents neighborhood in SE Portland in order to nurture a stronger, more competitive business climate. At almost 3,000 acres, the Lents Town Center, Urban Renewal Area (URA) is one of the largest urban renewal areas in the state but it has not seen the same rate of growth as other and this isn’t the first attempt to come up with a game changing idea.

We set out to find an idea that could utilize the resources and support of the PDC to realize the needs of the people in the area.

At Flying High Creative, Sara develops values-driven communications that build brands with meaning. She thrives on connecting believers with doers, message with market strategy and ideas with actions designed to make life better. If geographic influence fit in a glass, hers would be a Canalacchian cocktail: a long pour of Ky bourbon, a splash of Canadian rye, topped with Portland-crafted ginger ale, rocks.
