East County Justice Center debacle
Members of East Portland communities are increasingly concerned about the Rockwood Public Safety presence now and in future. Most notably, East Portlander's are very concerned about the East County Justice Center debacle.
County changes direction on project
Multnomah County was scheduled to build a full service Justice Facility, including courthouses, community space, sheriff's office and other facilities in Rockwood. The Rockwood Bowling alley at 187th & SE Stark St was purchased for this project. Multnomah County has reconsidered this project, and is planning on building courthouses in downtown Gresham instead.
Attend the public forum
The Rockwood Neighborhood Association is co-sponsoring a forum May 12th to discuss the Justice Center, Courts and Public Safety as components in Rockwood's Urban Renewal efforts.
Attendees
- Multnomah County Chair Ted Wheeler
- Multnomah County Commissioner Diane McKeel
- Multnomah District Attorney Michael Shrunk
- Multnomah County Judge Edward Jones
- Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis
- Gresham Councilors Richard Strathern & Paul Warr-King
- Gresham Police Chief Craig Junginger
- East Precinct Police Commander Mike Crebs
Everyone is urged to attend this important meeting and show support for this very important part of Rockwood's future. Several important questions will be asked and answered. The public is invited to ask questions too.

1st planting March 2009
On March 21nd 2009 Friends of Trees will be hosting their 1st Neighborhood Planting event in the city of Gresham. Friends of Trees is a non-profit organization that brings communities together to help them expand tree cover in their neighborhoods and to improve their environment.
Benefits are many
Planting a tree in your yard or parking strip creates long lasting benefits enjoyed by everyone! Did you know that trees remove pollutants from the air? A typical tree absorbs 10 pounds of pollutants, cleans 330 pounds of carbon dioxide, and creates 260 pounds of oxygen each year! Trees also help intercept and retain 760 gallons of rainwater each year, which help keep our rivers clean and help save us money on stormwater fees! Trees raise the property value of your home by up to 20%.
