As the Portland Development Commission (PDC) approaches our 50th Anniversary we are launching the Future of Urban Renewal Initiative. Through this initiative we will involve the community in updating plans for all eleven of our Urban Renewal Areas URAs. Our work begins with the Westside Study—a look at three downtown URAs: Downtown Waterfront, South Park Blocks and River District—and the Lents Town Center URA Plan Amendment Study.
Through this webpage we invite you to learn more about this initiative and to join us as we set a new course for our agency’s next fifty years. Learn more.
