Centro de Prosperidad to open in Downtown Hillsboro in spring 2017

After more than a year of planning between the City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural de Washington County, Hillsboro’s Enterprise Zone (pictured above) will soon welcome the area’s first workforce and economic empowerment center.

The historic partnership will connect Hillsboro adults – especially low-income, Latino, and Enterprise Zone residents – with living-wage jobs, and promote the next generation of entrepreneurs.
