PDX Plan


A city is only as good as its last plan. And our last one brought to life some of the very thins we admire most about our city. It laid the groundwork for one of the best transportation infrastructures in the country and enabled us to develop a vibrant central city. That was 1980. And almost 50% of us weren't even here then.

Get involved. This is your chance to help define our priorities, guide our investments and actually set the course for our city. Please join us a t a workshop listed below, or answer some questions online at PDXPland.com
