  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Putting the Region to Work: an Analysis of Workforce Development Services in Multnomah and Washington Counties Author: Burnett, Kim, Jackson, Ray, Parrott, Britt, Ransom, Matt, Smith, Claire Year: 1998 This study was produced primarily as a tool for policy advocacy Workforce Development members therefore much of the analysis focuses on the role that community based organizations and community development corporations play in workforce development. However, policy makers and technical assistance providers, such as the Workforce Development Board, as well as government agencies, also play a critical role in the region’s workforce development system. Although this report does not focus as much on the role of these agencies, further study is needed to offer suggestions for how these players can best coordinate their efforts with that of community based organizations to meet the needs of participating clients and employers.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lombard ReImagined Author: Doherty-Chapman, Kathryn, Wagner, Zef, Warr, Jake, Jacobson-Swartfager, Jodi, Hamilton, Rebecca, Hurley, Brian Year: 2013 From January to June 2013, Swift Planning Group worked with the Kenton, Arbor Lodge, and Piedmont Neighborhood Associations, residents and businesses in those neighborhoods, and the broader community to develop a vision for what the future Lombard should look like and how to get there. Lombard Street has long been considered a dividing line between neighborhoods where walking is not only unpleasant, but unsafe. Businesses line much of the street, but they have not always served the needs of surrounding neighborhoods. The Lombard community, however, is made up of passionate people who care about their neighborhoods. They are ready to build upon Lombard’s current assets to create a more neighborhood-friendly street with many appealing destinations and amenities. Swift Planning Group, in conjunction with the community, developed a vision and guidebook for a better Lombard. Written for an emerging Friends of Lombard group, the Lombard Re-Imagined Guidebook recommends specific strategies and actions that the community can take to realize positive change throughout the Lombard Corridor. This project was conducted under the supervision of Ethan Seltzer and Gil Kelley.
