Portland is still feeling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Downtown has faced new challenges, including changes in how and where people work, an urgent need for more housing at all income levels, and opportunities to better activate public spaces. The Central City 2035 Plan (CC2035) was a 10-year effort shaped by thousands of Portlanders to create a new policy framework for land use, transportation, environmental protection, and urban design in Oregon’s largest urban center. Building on that work, the Central City Code Amendments Project is focused on addressing post-pandemic realities by encouraging housing development and supporting economic recovery and revitalization in downtown Portland. Visit the City’s website to learn more about the CC2035 Plan and how you can engage with the Amendments Project. Portland.gov/BPS/News #Portland #CentralCity #DowntownPortland #InnerEastPortland

For this month (and every month), let’s celebrate all Black History—highlighting joy, resilience, and creativity— going beyond trauma-centered events. The City of Portland is grateful to the City African American Network (CAAN) for sharing the words on these slides. CAAN seeks to build a common bond of fellowship among Black employees who honorably serve the City of Portland. CAAN advocates for fair employment and equal promotional opportunities for African Americans through positive relationships with City and community leaders who value and embrace “diversity” beyond just awareness. Opportunity builds diversity. #Portland #BlackHistoryMonth
