Metro has added another open house to answer questions and take public comment regarding Chief Operating Officer Michael Jordan's recommended community investment strategy. The event will be held at the St. Johns Community Center in North Portland on Tuesday Sep. 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. Investment and economic growth in the North Portland area is important to the region's continued success and Metro hopes to hear from residents how the regional government can help improve their community.
Released Aug. 10, Jordan's report calls for a regional approach to community investment for everything from pipes to parks to green jobs. Public comments and ideas about community investments as well as about potential urban growth boundary expansion areas will help inform decisions this fall. Additional open houses will be held in Lents, Wilsonville, Sherwood, Oregon City and Hillsboro.
