Create opportunities for education and economic growth; add a net gain of jobs in the region. - 5 - Very important
What can we do to make this happen? Who should be involved?
Create more mini spaces for restaurants (food is helping put Portland on the map). Smaller spaces helps reduce overhead costs. Bethany village just did this and attracted zeeks, koi fusion, etc. Look at that model, it work. Also, let's create spaces for businesses relocating to PDX. This means more jobs for locals and more taxes for the city.

What can we do to make this happen? Who should be involved?
I love the thought of the street car stretching out here. Also, more bike only lanes and pedestrian only streets please!
GOAL 4: KEEP PORTLAND HEALTHY
Develop the site so that it reflects high-quality construction, resource sharing, environmentally-friendly practices and social responsibility. - 5 - Very important
What can we do to make this happen? Who should be involved?
It would be interesting to see a mix of organic farming, restaurants, parks, etc. Whatever is done, needs to be high-end, to promote activity among people enjoying the area and reducing any crime (since being right next to China Town, we must make sure that this doesn't become an area where the crime extends it's reach).
GOAL 5: KEEP PORTLAND ACCOUNTABLE
Create an implementable strategy that attracts private investment and delivers appropriate public benefit. - 5 - Very important
What can we do to make this happen? Who should be involved?
I appreciate that outside money wants to come in. It promotes jobs in the construction industry. I appreciate that outside businesses want to relocate. Let's give them a space to do it, high locals and contribute to our city.
Is there anything that we have missed? Please share your thoughts below:
Please create a business friendly environment. Businesses promote local growth, increase city revenue with taxes, etc.
