The City of Portland has launched the Rose City Connection, a new weekly newsletter that replaces the Civic Life monthly newsletter and social media accounts. Starting in August 2025, subscribers will be automatically migrated to the new platform, which aims to centralize vital city news and resources. The decision to streamline communications aligns with the city’s ongoing efforts to improve service delivery. Residents can visit portland. gov/news to find detailed articles sorted by neighborhood and news type, including press releases and public notices.

Furthermore, an events calendar at portland. gov/events allows Portlanders to filter upcoming events by type and date. This initiative is designed to foster community engagement and ensure residents have access to relevant information. With the retirement of the Civic Life newsletter, the city emphasizes a more efficient communication strategy. The Rose City Connection will enhance the flow of information and resources across Portland.
