Abstract
Supporting clean industry and residents in ways that are mutually beneficial requires a diversity of efforts. The Columbia Salmonry Group, working for the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, finds that designating the Sumner-Parkrose-Argay Terrace neighborhoods as a Green Resilient Industrial District (GRID) can, with the following recommendations, build on the work of community and city partners to sustain and grow clean industry in Portland. This area is well suited to be a GRID due to the close proximity of industry and residents, a history of over-planning and under-delivering of investment, and the engaged community. Focusing on the needs of industry, workforce development organizations, and youth, we identify strategies that center community prosperity and encourage mutually-beneficial relationships between industry and residents. By activating the potential of residents and industrial businesses, recent and future plans can ensure a just transition into a greener future.
