Want to make a difference in your Northwest Portland neighborhood? Apply now for a Metro Central community enhancement grant.
Metro has nearly $240,000 available in community enhancement grants for Northwest Portland neighborhoods to build vibrant communities, protect clean air and water, maintain healthy ecosystems and improve regional equity.
The grants are awarded annually through Metro’s Community Enhancement Program. They are funded by a $1 surcharge on each ton of waste at the Metro Central Transfer Station, located off of Highway 30 in Northwest Portland. The grants benefit the neighborhoods of Forest Park, Cathedral Park and Linnton; the Northwest District Association and the Northwest Industrial Area; and an area directly adjacent to the St. Johns Bridge.
Applications are due by midnight Friday, Sept. 15, 2018.
Grants up to $50,000 have been awarded. They typically cover one year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2019). Grants requesting up to two years to complete will also be considered.
Successful proposals strongly meet one or more of the following program goals:
See here for a list of grantees from the 2018 grant cycle.
Individuals, community groups, neighborhoods, nonprofits, schools and school groups, government agencies, faith and service groups with nonprofit or other tax-exempt status.

Share your thoughts through Aug. 13 on the blueprint for the next 25 years of investment in greater Portland’s transportation system.
Ready for your comments: draft 2018 Regional Transportation Plan
Share your thoughts through Aug. 13 on the blueprint for the next 25 years of investment in greater Portland’s transportation system
We all use our system of throughways, roads, bridges, sidewalks, bikeways, and transit and freight routes. So, we should all get a say in how we create a transportation system that is safe, healthy, reliable and affordable. Regional leaders want to know your thoughts on the policies, supporting strategies and project lists in the draft 2018 Regional Transportation Plan.
With 500,000 more people – more than half from growing families – and 350,000 more jobs in greater Portland by 2040, we’ll see more economic activity and more people and goods traveling on the region’s transportation system than today. This means more traffic and congestion, busy buses, and more people walking and biking.
The 2018 Regional Transportation Plan will establish priorities for state, federal and regional funding and help set the stage for the new and expanded options for people and products to get where they need to go. Projects are submitted by city, county, regional and state partners and evaluated for what they will do for the people and businesses of greater Portland.
Do the investments in the project lists match your transportation priorities? What other ideas do you have on how to continue improving the region’s transportation system?
Comment now through Aug. 13
