This is the final in a series of presentations coming to Portland, all designed to help our community move toward a shared goal: a unified city, proud of its downtown, with a level of vibrancy that’s felt well beyond our core. If you've missed the earlier ones, that's no reason to miss this - our most fun, and likely most important one!!
Please join us for this interactive workshop, hosted at City Hall in the Upstairs Community Room.
To Be Announced (April) — Team Rogers City comes to Positively Portland to share best practices that changed their fading downtown into a vibrant hub in every season. Mayor Scott will energetically lead the way!
What you'll get:
Team Rogers City offers open communication with both community members and officials so everyone knows what is going on with organizations, schools, and other groups. It is an open group and anyone can (and many do) attend the meetings.
How to get more people working together, and people appreciating the work that’s being done.
How to build a great resource for businesses who invest and attend
Creating access to community involvement
Refreshments !!
Who should attend (besides you)?
Boards and commissions, City Council, City staff, business owners, property owners, and anyone who cares deeply about Portland and the future of its downtown.
Roll up your sleeves and join others who genuinely care about Portland and who are ready to find out if they can contribute to making us even better.
