About us

In 2017, the Central Eastside Industrial Council and local business owners advocated that Central Eastside Industrial District (CEID) become an Enhanced Service District (ESD) to meet the community's needs. Their efforts were successful, and Central Eastside Together was launched in 2019. In response to local and global events, Central Eastside Together has developed responsive programs to support the District and all who live, work, and play here.

In 2021, Central Eastside Together became its own 501(c)(3) organization, with a separate Board of Directors. Central Eastside Together has a shared resource agreement with the Central Eastside Industrial Council staff who serve both organizations.
