"The values Portlanders embrace around fresh, local food; resource conservation; and community in volvement are perfectly aligned with the business model we’ve had in place since my parents founded the company nearly 60 years ago,” said Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers co president. Beyond a place to buy healthy food, the new store brings many ad ditional benefits to the community, including; an on-site credentialed nutritional health coach, provided at no charge, to answer questions, help with meal planning and provide one- on-one nutrition counseling, along with other free nutrition education options like cooking classes and dem- onstrations, and lectures on topics of interest to the community. “We work hard to make healthy options affordable so that custom ers feel empowered in our stores,” Isely added. “We are deeply com mitted to our neighbors and we look forward to being part of the Portland community for years to come.” Preliminary design work will start in early September. In addition to Natural Grocers, the development, when complete, will include com mercial and retail space to house between four and 10 businesses. A community benefits agreement and elements of the project design will be developed by a project work ing group. The group will include representatives from nearby neigh- borhood, business and community associations and will be formed in the next few weeks. Their work will inform the overall project design and development. Colas Construction of Portland was selected in January as project general contractor. “I grew up and now reside in north Portland and I am honored to have Colas Con struction lead a project that will deliver real jobs, real amenities and real opportunities for neighborhood residents,” said Andrew Colas, president of Colas Construction. “I want to thank Majestic Realty for the commitment to us, to this neigh borhood and to this project. I am so excited to break ground.” Work on the project is expected to begin in late fall.
