Community Impacts and Community Involvement
Prosper Portland’s fiscal year 2022-23 Proposed Budget supports interventions and investments to address these pressing challenges and embraces equitable growth as our guiding principle for economic recovery. Building on existing work that is grounded in racial equity and the power of partnership as the path toward stability and resilience, investments are designed to foster economic growth and equitable opportunities for Portland residents, businesses, and diverse communities by:
- Increasing access to quality jobs and household stability
- Stabilizing diverse small businesses
- Strengthening impacted business districts
- Enabling commercial activity and investment
Proposed funding supports projects and programs designed to achieve key Comprehensive Plan objectives:
- Vigorous economic growth and a healthy, diverse economy that supports living wage jobs
- The reduction of systemic inequities
- An attractive environment for innovation, job growth, development, and trade, and
- Vibrant commercial districts with healthy local small businesses throughout the city
The Proposed Budget supports continued investments to help small businesses to operate and stay open, access critical resources, and adjust their business offerings to realize growth (while still recovering from pandemic impacts) – through community-driven, equity-centered programs like IBRN, Mercatus, My Peoples Market, Portland Means Progress, and the Neighborhood Prosperity Network. Recognizing the critical need to strengthen diverse small businesses, funding will provide BIPOC-owned businesses with tech-specific business development support; facilitate efforts that offer lease and operating funding for small businesses working to stay open; re-tenant vacancies to fill in holes and create opportunities for diverse businesses; and ignite commercial district marketing and activations to drive foot traffic.
100% Renewable Goal
- Prosper Portland’s Green Building policy establishes certain LEED standards for all property dispositions, leased real property and projects receiving certain levels of financial assistance included in the FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget.
- The FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget includes funding for the Green Cities cluster, working collaboratively with a broad category of companies producing innovative products, services, and technologies that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources.
