Bayside Welcomes NBT Bank

NBT Bank Opens a Branch in Bayside — and Invests in the Neighborhood.

On March 10th, NBT welcomed neighbors and community members to their new location at 191 Marginal Way for a ribbon cutting and branch tour, before continuing the celebration at Rising Tide Brewery. It was a warm, well-attended afternoon — and a nice way to mark the occasion.

We want to say a genuine thank you to NBT Bank for their $2,500 donation to the Bayside Neighborhood Association, made in conjunction with the opening of their new Bayside branch this month.

NBT’s decision to expand to Bayside is something we don’t take for granted. It reflects a belief in this neighborhood — in its residents, its businesses, and its future. And their contribution to the BNA shows that their interest in Bayside goes beyond opening a branch. They want to be part of the community.

That matters to us. The BNA exists to support and strengthen Bayside, and having partners who share that commitment makes that work more possible.

We’re glad NBT is here, and we look forward to what we can do together.

Host a Jane’s Walk for Bayside Week!

The BNA Events Team is gearing up for Bayside Week from April 25 to May 2 — a weeklong celebration of Bayside pride to show that Bayside is the Playside of Portland. The week culminates on Saturday, May 2nd with the Annual Meeting and Feast, which also coincides with the annual tradition of Jane’s Walk. Last year two local Bayside history buffs offered walks centered around the Preble Street Chapel. We’re encouraging even more participation in Bayside this year. Got an idea? Let’s do it! Sign up with Portland Downtown below and let us know your ideas by emailing eventsteam@baysideportland.org

Jane’s Walk leaders needed!
