In the southwest corner of Eliot at 501 N Dixon St. lies the Matthew Prophet Education Center. Completed in 1979, this building is home base for Portland Public Schools.

In recent years, PPS has been open to selling the Prophet Center. Some serious proposals for the site have included a Costco warehouse store and an eastside mirror of the Pearl District, but all of them struck out.

In 2024, PPS offered the site to Albina Vision Trust. We hope that the trust can follow through and relieve the community from decades of uncertainty.

Portland Diamond Project also briefly considered this location opposite the Pearl. The idea of Major League Baseball in Eliot did not come out of left field: it was the second organized effort.

This slide deck for Cascadia Green outlines that first proposal. Consider the pitch for yourself!
