eling the site to put up a ware-
house for use of his business,
Harsch Investment Properties.
If the project doesn’t get off
the ground soon, Toran believes
it would be in jeopardy of never
materializing.
According to a summary
of the plan, the startup cost in-
cludes $16.4 million to repur-
pose 85,000 square feet of the
site, and a yearly operating cost
in excess of $18 million. Toran
has reached out to Multnomah
County and the Oregon Legis-
lature to see if they would have
any way of providing some of
the cost, but hasn’t heard back
from them yet. She added that
once the government funding
is secured, she believes local
businesses and philanthropists
“would be very responsive to
the idea.”
“What we have said is that if
all of the funding streams were
to materialize we would have it
fully operable by fall of 2020. So
that’s a fast pace, but I believe it
is doable,” Toran said.
The renovations would in-
clude partitioning some of the
open spaces of the facilities, and
making the environment more
welcoming, family friendly, and

less like a jail, Toran said.
Constructed in 2003 in the far
corner of north Portland, the site
has never housed a single inmate.
Only incidentally has it saw its use
for an occasional movie shoot. A
2016 petition to convert the fa-
cility to house the homeless drew
some support, such as former
Multnomah County Commis-
sioner Loretta Smith, but the idea
proved unpopular with the other
commissioners. In fall 2017, the
county sold it to private developer
Marty Kehoe for $10.8 million.
Built by Hoffman Construc-
tion, the site already has some
amenities that could be used for
providing public services, like a
medical and dental clinic, and a
full kitchen.
Providence Health and Services
could possibly co-locate a health
clinic there, or set up services for
“tele-health,” and both University
of Portland and Concordia Univer-
sity have expressed interest in ex-
tending their respective nursing ed-
ucation programs there, Toran said.
There have also been talks of
using it as a general health clinic,
in addition to a treatment center,
to be used by the estimated 1,700
employees working for different
companies in the industrial district
of the site’s location. Catering for a
Cause, VOA’s program that teach-
es job skills through charitable and
community catering by enlisting
former felons and other people get-
ting back on their feet, could also
be expanded there, Toran said.
Toran has known Schnitzer—a
prominent
philanthropist--for
many years, with VOA having
given him a DePresit Award for
Excellence in 2005. Upon his ac-
ceptance of the award, Toran said
Schnitzer visited VOA’s offices to
become more informed of the or-
ganization, which in turn, is why
he reached out to them for this
project, she said.
“I think he has a high level of
confidence that if we say some-
thing is doable we have reasons to
say it,” Toran said.
