That fundraising is turn is used to support our efforts to grow and build the region and Imagine a Portland where businesses and communities can thrive. The work we do would not be possible without our sponsors or supporters.

That growth isn't just building new buildings or more housing - it's about making the region more attractive, more accessible, and more open to newcomers and businesses and increasing opportunities for the existing businesses and communities.

An annual event unlike any other
|
Unlike in past annual events, we will not only be looking backwards, but instead focusing forwards. With the help of the Portland Society of Architects we will help unveil a series of renderings and proposed visions for the city and region. Because of this year's event location, we will also be offering a sneak peak at the future of Thompson's Point. The Case for Growth focuses partly on bringing more people to Portland, but also growing the businesses here, and offering a better way forward for all residents. This event will feature food, drinks, presentations, awards and a vision for the future of our region. |
