Voters approved in 2024 Measure 26-244, authorizing Metro to issue $380 million dollars to fund projects to protect animal health and well-being, provide conservation education, and conserve water and energy at the Oregon Zoo. Over the next 10-15 years, Metro will issue multiple tranches of taxable and tax-exempt general obligation debt to fund infrastructure improvements in line with the Oregon Zoo’s campus plan. Metro is committed to addressing the lack of diversity in the construction trades in greater Portland; projects funded through this program will use the framework developed in our Construction Career Pathways program to provide reliable career pathways for women and BIPOC people.

In November 2019, voters in greater Portland approved a $475 million bond measure to further protect clean water, restore fish and wildlife habitat and provide opportunities for people to connect with nature close to home. Racial equity is at the core of the bond measure; it prioritizes outcomes that benefit people of color, Indigenous people, people with low incomes, people with varying abilities and other historically marginalized groups who have not benefited equitably from past investments. The bond measure also focuses work to make the region more resilient to climate change. Regular updates on progress and program outcomes can be found at the Parks and Nature bond measure webpage.
