Portland officials released a Market Feasibility Study on Friday, Jan. 23, that declared the region cannot support two venues capable of hosting popular touring Broadway shows. That upends the proposal approved by the City Council in late 2024 calling for a new Broadway-capable performing arts center to be built at Portland State University before the Keller Auditorium is closed and remodeled to continue hosting such large show.

Members will provide their perspectives and feedback, and make recommendations on next steps and direction for the project to the city's Community & Economic Development Service Area, which is managing the project. Topics for review and discussions will include recommendations from the previous Performing Arts Venue Workgroup, results from previous and future transportation studies, findings from an upcoming market feasibility study, potential funding and partnership opportunities, and more.
