The City of Hillsboro has long recognized the need to provide city services in the most efficient manner possible. As a smaller city, this meant a focus on delivering cost efficient services. As a larger city, our approach is broader and based on the principles of sustainability. Cost is and always will be a key factor in service delivery, but social and environmental costs and benefits must also be considered.

We invite you to explore these pages to learn more about our goals and efforts, and how you can help us plant the seeds for a more Sustainable Hometown Future! We hope you find the information useful – let us know!
