Established by City Council in January 2009, the Office of Healthy Working Rivers will advance Portland's river vision (developed in 2004 under the River Renaissance Initiative) by placing emphasis on taking strategic actions.

 

Central to this effort is the principle that urban development, healthy natural systems, and a sustainable economy are complementary goals. To read more about the Office of Healthy Working Rivers, click here.
