On Second Wednesdays, our Government and Economic Affairs Committee (GEAC) hosts the meeting and brings important presentations to the table. We'd also like to extend a thank you to Cherrywood Village for allowing us to use their board room each month!
Portland: Neighbors Welcome is a housing advocacy organization working to re-legalize community-scale apartment buildings in the Inner Eastside. Their presentation will make the case for why this would be a natural step in the city's evolution, benefiting economic growth, housing affordability, city budgets, social integration, climate action, clean air, and the protection of forests, farms, and natural resources. It will also touch on the recent history of the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability's Inner Eastside Zoning Project, which will (hopefully!) accomplish that re-legalization.
On Second Wednesdays, our Government and Economic Affairs Committee (GEAC) hosts the meeting and brings important presentations to the table. For November, we have shifted to the first Wednesday to accomodate Veterans Day. We'd also like to extend a thank you to Morningstar at Laurelhurst for allowing us to use their board room each month!
Join us for a casual lunch on first Fridays! We'll visit a different food cart pod each month.
In November, we will visit the HEIST in Woodstock!
Got a suggestion for a future lunch? Let us know at info@eastportlandchamber.com!
Join us to hear from Travel Portland representatives, Yoko Furukawa from the International Tourism team and Angela Nelson from the Equity and Partnerships team.
