The Portland Plan - Inspiring Communities Series continues in the new year (with one change to accommodate Ducks fans), offering Portlanders a chance to learn how other cities are tackling the issues of economic development, community health, education and equity as well as how to create complete communities and make the most of our natural systems. Each evening includes a keynote speech, local panel discussion and questions from the audience. Admission is free, and the presentations will be broadcast live on Channel 30 and streamed live on www.pdxplan.com.
