Summary "This history is the third in a series. It follows William F. Willingham's Army Engineers and the Development of Oregon: A History of the Portland District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1983) and Todd Jennings, Lisa Mighetto, and Jill Schnaiberg's Currents of Change: A History of the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1980- 2000 (2003). This volume documents the first fifteen years of the twenty-first century, a period in which the Portland District continued its many missions, including navigation, environmental stewardship, hydropower, regulatory program, flood-risk management, emergency response, tribal liaison, cultural resources management, and recreation. The District faced new challenges as its infrastructure aged, funding difficulties emerged, and environmental work gained increasing importance to all Corps missions"--Page X.
