Portland's demolition ban on homes built in or before 1916 went into effect on Nov. 1, as reported by Portland Business Journal. This is expected to divert about 8 million pounds of material from landfills per year and affect about 30 percent of homes that would be demolished. A study from the Northwest Economic Research Center estimates the policy could create 30-50 jobs and up to $1.5 million in local economic activity. The city may extend these requirements to homes built before 1940 by 2019.
