We’re Working to Save Oppenlander
We’re calling the City and District back to the table for good faith negotiations for a win-win-win result!
Our consistent and resounding voice is our highest leverage!
It was our unified active voices, emails, and in person rallies that got the City and School District back to the table in 2021. It was our unified voice at the voting booth that passed a bond measure with a 2:1 margin.
The School District is motivated and itching to sell Oppenlander to a developer for 35 to 90 new homes, and in doing so West Linn will lose almost 50 years of Oppenlander open space/park history and the only full size recreational fields in central and north West Linn.
Some say we are crazy, and the District is only after the highest cash return. But we know “good faith” and a passion for the children & community are in the District’s DNA … we need to help them and the City re-find those core values, and let them know we support them through the difficult decision it will take to sell/buy at a renegotiated, reasonable, and appropriate price that makes it possible for all of us to keep Oppenlander a park serving generations of children to come. Likewise, it will take the same effort to get the City to close a new deal.
We say win-win-win, because it’s the City and the School District … and us, that want the best … and it’s “our table” we are inviting them to. Both entities are accountable to us!
