Our Destination Is An Experience
Live. Work. Play. This project’s goal is to create an experience, where visitors and residents will live, work, and play in a sustainable city of the future.
At the center of this property is a wet lake and canal system, which pays homage to this generation of Vanport builder’s ability to rise above. The canal, its underwater connections, and its system of pumps will control flooding while cultivating a network of lakes and bodies of water that generate clean energy.
Vanport Lake and River will be lined with exhibits of the history of Vanport and the communities they went on to create.
