Public Involvement & Decisions

BPA is dedicated to public involvement and transparency. We hold events and public comment periods to update and receive input from stakeholders and the public. We also provide past and current records of decisions to keep the public informed on BPA initiatives, projects, finances and other business updates. Browse the resources below for more information on the agency's community events and public records.
