Event cohosted by BOLD Coffee & Books and Indigo: Editing, Design, and More. - Better Portland at BOLDNeeds location
Join Better Portland downtown at Bold Coffee & Books! We will be taking this time to connect with members, our community, and local business by supporting different businesses in the Portland area.
One of the big takeaways from Governor Kotek’s Downtown Task Force is that businesses downtown need the most support on Fridays – so we’re excited to head downtown on Friday December 6th to support local business!
