Portland Construction Jobs through Stadium Renovations
The move of a local soccer team to the major league will help create Portland construction jobs.
The City of Portland recently announced that it has reached a final agreement with Peregrine Power, LLC to renovate PGE Park and upgrade the Portland Timbers to a Major League Soccer franchise. That move will help create local jobs in the construction industry and continuing revenue, visitors and vital spending.
"I'm confident that this agreement will serve Portlanders now and for years to come," Mayor Sam Adams said. "We will put construction workers back to work right away, and in the long‐term, MLS represents a smart investment in Portland's future success. Building on the Northwest's long‐standing soccer heritage, we can bring Portlanders together around another great sports team."
