The History
Originally founded in 1988 as an informal group of downtown property owners and managers, the Downtown Portland Clean & Safe District was later formalized in city code in 1991.
The district underwent several renewals in the 1990s before Portland City Council decided to renew the district every 10 years in 2001.
