Councilor Challenges City’s Moda Center Narrative | Portland News
Description
Portland City Councilor Mitch Green is challenging how the city is portraying its role in the Moda Center renovation talks with the Trail Blazers, calling out misleading language that implies the council “sent” terms. He revealed councilors only saw a draft term sheet late in a public session, after private executive meetings, and questioned how it could reflect council direction so soon after being shared. The city insists the draft reflects its priorities, community input, and council guidance — including a 20-year home game commitment, labor agreements, funding caps, and a $3M annual tax offset for schools and county. Negotiations continue, with a council vote expected in August, as leaders stress the arena’s outdated state is driving major events away from Portland.
