> Initiated by a group of Grant High School parents, the Grant Field
> Improvement Project has been in development for several years. The
> process of refining the plans occurred through an advisory committee  
> and
> numerous meetings and open houses. Most recently, the Grant Field
> proposal was included in PPS’s “Great Fields” project, an
> initiative to improve each PPS high school track and field to meet  
> NCAA
> standards.

> The City has yet to determine if a Conditional Use Review is required
> for this project. The final plan and feedback from the community  
> will be
> forwarded to the Portland School Board and to Parks Commissioner Dan
> Saltzman after the open house for possible acceptance and approval.
>
> Construction could begin after all approvals are received and funding
> is secured.
