We would like to extend our welcome to incoming PDC Chair Scott Andrews. Scott is a longtime Portland businessman and former leader of the Portland Business Alliance, writes Jim Redden in the August 6 Tribune.

We are grateful for the good work of outgoing Chair Charles Wilhoite, who will remain on the PDC Board of Commissioners.

We look forward to working with Scott on beginning construction on three planned affordable housing projects, his first priority as PDC Chair: the Pearl Family Housing project, the Block 49 project in South Waterfront, and the Resource Access Center in downtown Portland.
