Recognizing The Willamette River as Portland’s Centerpiece
One of the City of Portland’s most important river goals is to reclaim the Willamette River as Portland’s centerpiece. Therefore the City promotes and celebrates the Willamette River as our chief environmental, economic, and urban asset.
What’s New
Since 2004, the River Renaissance Initiative has sought to coordinate the city’s river-related work, engage the public, and connect community partners to create innovative urban solutions to issues facing Portland's rivers. Central to this effort has been the belief that urban development, healthy natural systems, and a sustainable economy are complementary goals.
The Office of Healthy Working Rivers was established by City Council in January 2009 and will carry forward many of the priorities of River Renaissance, while placing far greater emphasis on taking strategic action. To read more about the Office of Health Working Rivers, click here.
