Our Team — Albina Vision Trust

Our Team

The power of Good People

From its inception, the Albina Vision Trust has always existed at the collision point of technical expertise, creative prowess and community-driven visioning. Over the past 4 years, AVT has turned what was once a mere PowerPoint presentation into a nationally heralded, precedent-setting model for 21st century urban development.

The widespread recognition of this project and its potential is a direct testament to the world-class talent of the staff, board leadership and community members behind the work.
