An urban growth plan released today by a coalition of farming and conservation groups picked up a key endorsement from Portland Mayor Sam Adams.
Speaking at Metro’s first of six public hearings on urban reserves, Adams told councilors he’s thinking of the economic needs of the region in offering his support. He says the plan is, “in keeping with promoting more jobs and better jobs for the region.”
His comments endorsing the coalition proposal were brief and to the point. Afterwards he began speaking more generally about what he thinks are the best ways for the Portland metro area to grow.
