In 2025, Metro will kick off an update to the greater Portland region’s Future Vision. The Future Vision is guidance document that defines the preferred future for the region in 50 years. The Vision will touch on a wide range of topics, from land use, transportation and our economy to housing, climate, nature, arts and culture.
The Future Vision will be shaped by the Future Vision Commission. Metro is seeking 15 to 20 people from across the region and beyond, who represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, jobs and life experiences to serve on the Commission. Commission members will be appointed by Metro Council through an application process.
The Commission will bring together a group of people who can collectively think in a big-picture way about the long-term future of greater Portland. Members of the Commission will be expected to:
- Work collaboratively at monthly, in-person public meetings for the project's duration, expected to be about 18 months starting January 2025
- Review a significant amount of research relating to prior and recent regional visioning, national and international best practices and Future Vision topics
- Assess whether further research is necessary to inform the creation of the Future Vision and clearly articulate research needs to Metro staff
- Review the results of public engagement activities and use these results to craft the Future Vision.
