Portland is well-recognized as a city with an exceptionally high quality of life, a vibrant urban core surrounded by dynamic neighborhoods, each with a distinctive identity and commercial character, and an ethos of progressive politics and community participation. In recent years, Portland has added another element to its reputation: national leadership in promoting a sustainable, 21st century economy.

Portland’s leadership is no accident. Prosper Portland focuses on building an equitable economy, based on four cornerstones:  growing quality jobs, advancing opportunities for prosperity, collaborating with partners for an equitable city, and creating vibrant neighborhoods and communities. Prosper Portland invests financial and human capital to serve the city and its residents.
