<start of DM presentation>
Thank you Mr. Mayor.
With a population of 90,226, Beaverton is 2nd largest city in Washington County and 6th largest city in Oregon.
Beaverton has one Regional Center in its central city, and shares a second Regional Center with Tigard at Washington Square. Several Town Centers are located within, or partially in city limits.
Beaverton also has both light rail and commuter rail, and counts seven MAX stations within city limits.
Beaverton has several notable strengths within the region such as a highly educated talent pool. As you saw earlier, we have a population with over 40% with a bachelors degree or higher. We also have one of the most diverse populations in the region with over 93 languages spoken in our schools…this translates into a more diverse labor pool which contributes to our regional competitive advantage.
Other assets include the fact that we have several transportation options for residents and employees alike. We also have some of the best infrastructure. From competitive water rates to our infrastructure freight mobility.
