With Orange Line trains, Oregon bioscience community licks its chops over Southeast Portland potential

 

The association that represents the Oregon bioscience community has its eyes on an emerging real estate opportunity: Portland’s inner southeast quadrant.

 

Oregon Bio today announced the launch of a Central Eastside Development Task Force to focus on ways to create a future bioscience hub in that area, which is now anchored by OMSI.

 

This is the article.
