The City of Portland recently signed off on the final permit required to start construction of the FOPIR pergola, and groundbreaking is now in sight.
FOPIR President Darrell LeBlanc is excited about finally kicking off the project after such a long permitting process: “The final permit took about 8 months longer than expected. It was recently signed off by the city after a lot of hard work by FOPIR board members Mike Smith and Trent Thelen and track manager Ron Huegli. We couldn’t have gotten to this important milestone without all of their hard work.”
