Community impacts
Along with the TIF Plan, the Governance Charter was the result of a cocreation process between Cully community members, Cully-based community organizations, Prosper Portland, and Portland Housing Bureau. Co-creation includes collaborative idea generation as well as equitable participation in discussion. It requires sharing a deep understanding and respect for each other's positions, power and expertise as proposals are being developed. Co-creation relies on transparency, technical support, and communication. The CLC is expected to inspire and facilitate ongoing guidance, engagement, and recommendations, so that implementation of the Cully TIF District Plan and actions taken pursuant to the plan reflect in-depth input and specific recommendations and guidance from residents and stakeholders of the Cully neighborhood. The Governance Charter requires CLC members, City leadership, and City staff be committed to authentic, open, and equitable public engagement processes. While differences of opinion will inevitably arise, the CLC and City partners have committed to continue working together in co-creation for the life of the TIF Plan to achieve the community's vision, goals, and values as established in the TIF Plan.
