The Portola Visitor's Center and the Williams House Museum has opened for the season. 

The electric vehicle charging stations at 411 Commercial St. began their journey in July 2022. The motion to approve the licensing agreement with EV Range passed with a unanimous vote from the city council on July 13th, 2022. The discussion to bring an electric charging station to the city had been in the works for several years prior. 

Portola has been certified as a Firewise community by the National Fire Protection Association for 2025.
