How Can Portland’s Growth Strengthen Our Regional Economy?

Beyond the Boundaries: Rethinking Growth in Portland (Part 2 of 3)

Co-created with John Tapogna, Oregon Business Council and Sam Diaz, 1000 Friends of Oregon

Join us for a Kitchen Cabinet conversation that reimagines Portland’s growth as part of a larger, interconnected story. Together we’ll explore: how can the city grow in ways that strengthen—not strain—our regional connections?
