South Waterfront Community Relations' mission is to develop and promote community building activities in Portland's South Waterfront, which will mitigate community deterioration and benefit the community as a whole. Community Relations also works with residents and employees to encourage transportation options and promote smart land use development through its Transportation Management Association extension.Over the past 5 years, South Waterfront Community Relations has facilitated a broad range of activities allowing strangers to become neighbors, and supported new residents in getting to know one another through their involvement in community events and issues.
