Portland Voted Greenest City In The U.S.

by Agent503
green-recycle-img According to a ranking by SustainLane, Portland is the greenest city in the nation. The rankings track the unfolding story of cities working to improve their residents’ quality of life. Cities with decentralized energy supplies, renewable water sources, abundant mass transit etc score high. Green building and land use policies also play an important role in determining who's green and who's not.

Having The Heritage Building foreclosed and sold off would be a serious blow to the effort to improve this area. I think PDC is doing the right thing by helping secure the new loan. This area needs the support through this slow economy. When the recovery starts, these projects will be vital to bringing more businesses to MLK.
