Powering the Portland Region

This report highlights key developments in Entrepreneurship and business acceleration, programming aligned with priority industry clusters, technical assistance and demonstration projects, as well as regional economic research. The report demonstrates how a concerted focus on economic development over these past few years has produced dramatic results.

A Great City Needs a Great Universiity

A 2012 partnership between the City of Portland, its Development Commission and PSU, this report on the elements of a Education urban renewal area was an effort to foster targeted development that would benefit Portland State...and through the associated growth of the university district...the citizens of this region.

It is about progress

This is PSU's first Economic Development report, completed in 2009.  Its production was a collaboration of PSU's college Deans, the Campus Economic Planning Advisory Committee and ECONorthwest. 

Recommendations from this report initiated the restructure of PSU's Research department, spawned the Office of Strategic Partnerships and elevated the economic development function of the university to the level of the President's executive committee.

$1.4 billion and growing

PSU's Economic Impact Report was updated in 2010 and the format was changed to a single bifold-four leaf fold out.

It is about leadership

This was the first in the It is about...series of economic development and impact reports produced between 2008 and 2010.  This report was the first one produced following Wim Wiewel's investiture as the eight president of PSU.
