Do you shop at farmers’ markets? Support your neighborhood businesses? Many of us at PDX do, too. So when the airport decided to build a wooden roof over the new main terminal, it was important to us to use local, sustainable Douglas fir.
From the beginning, we recognized: This isn’t just about shopping locally. It’s about bringing rural and urban Northwesterners together. And making our forests more fire-resilient. In building this wooden roof, we ended up doing something no one else in the country has ever attempted at this scale.
