Downtown Rockwood’s mission
is to bring neighborhood revitalization without displacement, empowering
residents to build prosperity for themselves and their families.
Transforming the
catalyst site
In 2005, the Gresham Redevelopment Commission
purchased the land at the former Rockwood Fred Meyer site, 18611 SE Stark St.
Since 2014, Urban Renewal
staff have met with community members in schools, churches, libraries, coffee
shops and other gathering places to engage the neighborhood on this project.
These community
conversations directly informed the project’s design and identified the
services and amenities that Rockwood residents desired most.
With the recent opening of
The Lumen Building in 2020, and the anticipated opening of both the Rockwood Market
Hall and the community plaza in 2022, Downtown Rockwood is ready to serve the
Rockwood community.
