Whether you are opening a new business, expanding or moving to a new location in Portland, the EDD staff will work closely with you to cut through the red tape and help you navigate through the permitting and regulatory process. As part of this assistance, we can organize a PREP (Presentation, Review, Evaluation, Possibilities) meeting, one of our most successful “one-stop shop” tools.The PREP meeting brings you to the table with staff from every City department involved in providing permits and approvals to get your business open and operating.
