What may be the best piece so far of Governor Kotek's "Downtown Task Force" is learning about all the data being collected about the Central City by ECONorthwest. Downtown is made up of a number of smaller areas, with some facing serious headwinds while others are successfully finding a new path ahead post COVID.

In this month's Boost Your Business with BBPDX event, our executive director Stephen Green will chat with Dr. Mike Wilkerson, who is leading the effort at ECONorthwest. They will talk about what the data is showing (and not showing) so far and where local businesses sit when it comes to revitalizing downtown.

ECONorthwest brings an economic perspective to housing, land use, transportation, education, safety net, and natural resource decision-making across the United States.

This event is free for members, $20 for nonmembers.

This series is sponsored by BBPDX’s Builder members – New Seasons Market, Catalyst Law LLC, Think Real Estate, Genentech, Radius Recycling, Autodesk, and Metro.
