Just Released: 2023 End of Year Report

The Purple Line Corridor Coalition is pleased to release its 2023 End of Year Report.

Progress in 2023: There was much progress made along the Purple Line Corridor in 2023 — including equitable development beyond the light rail tracks. Take a look at PLCC’s End of Year Report to see what we and a few of our partners have been up to. We are grateful to the people, organizations, agencies, and sponsors who made this progress possible!

We look forward to more progress toward our goals in 2024.
