The City of Portland has made its proposed draft of the Portland Plan available for public comment until November 30. The Portland Plan is a "communitywide process to create a 25-year plan for the future of the city." From the Portland Plan website:
Developed in response to some of Portland’s most pressing challenges, including income disparities, high unemployment, a low high school graduation rate and environmental concerns, the Portland Plan presents a strategic path forward.
For more background info about the plan, visit the website. The full-length draft plan and an abbreviated summary are available for download.
