Business Portland Headlines

Budding restaurateurs once again led the way in October, opening more businesses in Portland than entrepreneurs in any other service sector. The doors swung open on French, Italian, Thai, pie, and burger joints, as well as locales serving up Tex-Mex cuisine and Greek-style pizza as several restaurateurs-entrepreneurs looked to expand their brand and businesses' offerings with new storefronts and locations. Still, it wasn't all food. Health, beauty and haircut operations opened around town as well as shop where you can find a new screen-printed T-shirt. And while you're grooming and treating yourself to food and clothes, don't forget your pets, especially since they now have a new store created specifically with them in mind.

As the first year of its Neighborhood Economic Development Strategy (NED) implementation comes to a close, the Portland Development Commission convened a Neighborhood Economic Development Summit last month to assess and plan for 2013.

Last week, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy released their annual scorecard ranking states on policies, programs and activities. Oregon is number four on the list.
