Protecting, investing and renewing the livability of Hayden Island.
Your voice, your vote.
The Hayden Island Livability Project is a grassroots organization formed by the community of Hayden Island out of desire to have a voice in the activities happening or proposed on the Island that affect the livability of us all.
Your concerns are our concerns as we are made up of your friends and neighbors. In the past several months we have successfully proven that every voice does matter and that the people do make a difference in decisions that will change our community forever.
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.”
- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
West Hayden Island is 823 acres of wild and undeveloped land located between the states of Oregon and Washington on the Columbia River. It sits in the middle of a migratory water-fowl fly-way and it is a riparian green space for bald eagles, osprey, reptiles, songbirds and animals. The east side of the island is home to 2,200 residents including the largest manufactured home community in Oregon consisting of families, seniors and disabled. The Port of Portland owns the west side and is planning to turn 300 acres into a bulk marine terminal if the city of Portland annexes the area. The residents and the wildlife would suffer greatly from the pollution and disruption generated by development of West Hayden Island.
