About Gresham
Gresham is the 4th largest city in Oregon.
But in 1905 when we became a city, we had fewer than 400 residents, and most folks made their living farming or in local commerce or services. Our Main Street still harkens back to that time. The connection to local businesses and community has remained strong even as we have grown larger and larger.
Like all 21st century cities we now have 21st century challenges – growth, rising cost of living including the cost of housing, diminishing green spaces, increasing impacts from climate related storms, higher demand for services and more.
But Gresham also remains a leader in addressing these challenges through our commitment to community and preserving and improving the quality of life and economic opportunity for all our residents.
In a fast-changing world the “winners” are people and places that can adapt to change effectively.
Voting Yes on Measure 26-255 will help us do that by allowing a majority vote of Gresham residents to make changes in our charter and the direction of our city.
