Portland’s development boom is losing steam. After a decade where buildings seemed to rise on every corner, the city’s pipeline of new housing projects is slowing—and in some cases, drying up.
Meanwhile, nearby communities like Scarborough and Westbrook are growing much faster. So what’s happening here in Portland—and how do we ensure the city continues to meet the needs of residents and employers alike?
On November 6, Eggs & Issues tackles these questions head-on in “Stuck: Why Portland Has Stopped Building.”
Hear from:
Kevin Kraft, Planning & Urban Development Director, City of Portland
Jonathan Culley, Principal, RedFern Properties
Todd Morse, President, Urbanist Coalition of Portland
Together, they’ll explore how inclusionary zoning, market conditions, and policy choices are shaping what gets built—and what doesn’t—in Portland’s housing future.
SCHEDULE:
7:00 AM EDT: Check-in, breakfast, and coffee
8:00 AM EDT: Doors close, program begins
Registration for this event includes breakfast, parking, and networking. FREE event parking is located in the parking garage adjacent to Hannaford Hall in the Abromson Center
