Community listening session for Downtown Portland Clean & Safe

Description

What services will help make downtown Portland clean, safe and successful as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession? 

Retail businesses in downtown Portland are invited to join us for a community listening session co-hosted by Downtown Portland Clean & Safe and City of Portland staff to shape a new scope of work for the enhanced services district in downtown Portland.

Participants will learn about the latest community feedback from our 2020 Business Survey and have the opportunity to let us know what’s working, what’s not working, and what the city and Downtown Portland Clean & Safe can do to improve.

Downtown Clean & Safe is one of three enhanced service districts in Portland. This City program allows property and business owners to form districts that fund extra services such as trash cleanup, graffiti removal and community ambassadors.

This is one of three community listening sessions held in Summer 2021 to engage stakeholders from ratepayers, residents to the businesses operating in our city’s core district.

This event is co-hosted by Downtown Retail Council, Downtown Portland Clean & Safe, Portland Business Alliance’s Central City Standing Committee, and City of Portland.
