The South Tabor Neighborhood Association (STNA) exists to benefit those who live and work in the neighborhood. The neighbors involved are making decisions and planning projects with the express purpose of improving life for everyone in the neighborhood. The association is made up of people who live and work in South Tabor, and while all will benefit from the work of the neighborhood association, the more local involvment we have, the more everyone benefits.
Wikipedia describes our neighborhood as follows, with additional links included below:
"...The neighborhood is bounded by SE Division, Powell, 52nd, and 82nd Avenues. Its neighborhood association is a member of the Southeast Uplift coalition, which serves as its link to Portland's Office of Neighborhood Involvement.
South Tabor is named for its proximity to Mount Tabor, an extinct volcano and one of Portland's more popular parks.
South Tabor is largely residential; all of the neighborhood's businesses are situated on the streets that form its boundaries.
Franklin High School, Atkinson Elementary, St. Mark's Lutheran Church, and Trinity Fellowship Church are in South Tabor. South Tabor is also home to a gathering place built by the City Repair Project, a local nonprofit organization, which includes a cob pizza oven and community bulletin board. There is also a reconciliation labyrinth in a private yard, but often open free of charge to the general public."
