The DNA is one of the primary sources of public input for city bureaus and officials as they make decisions about downtown development in Portland, Oregon. The city seeks the DNA’s input by sending staff to attend DNA meetings, inviting DNA representatives to serve on planning committees, and mailing notices to the Board about proposed construction. Through position statements, public testimony, and participation in citizen advisory groups, DNA and its members weigh-in on critical decisions that shape the future of life in downtown Portland.
