Roadmap

Our Work 2025–2035

Transformation happens over decades, but progress begins today. The next ten years will shape how people experience, participate in, and benefit from Portland’s future opportunity economy.

1803 is investing now to build the foundation for long-term prosperity. Through community partnerships, cultural activation, learning initiatives, entrepreneurship, and place-based development, we are creating the conditions for a more connected future. This is not a development timeline, but a roadmap for participation, freedom, and prosperity.

2025–2026

Build the Foundation

Community partnerships, learning initiatives, cultural activation, real estate acquisition, planning, environmental preparation, and district readiness.

2027-2028

Strengthen Community Capacity

Leadership and organizational development, youth engagement, and public realm activation.

2029–2030

Activate Place

Key district assets come online, cultural destinations emerge, community-serving spaces expand, and district identity takes shape.

2032–2033

Grow Opportunity

Expanded economic activity, entrepreneurship, learning pathways, visitation, and neighborhood connectivity.

2034–2035

Build Permanence

Long-term stewardship systems, community wealth creation, ownership opportunities, and sustainable district operations.

Across each phase, 1803 will measure progress by how the district changes: asset control retained by Black-led entities, revenue generated or recycled locally, community leaders developed, public-private partnership strategies executed, and learning embedded in district spaces.
