GRESHAM, Ore. – Today Mayor Shane T. Bemis will deliver the annual State of the City at 3:00 p.m.
This year's address will highlight accomplishments from the past year and speak to the challenges that are ahead. In particular, Bemis will describe an aggressive new program to support the creation of new or expanding small businesses and fill vacant storefronts. Council will consider the proposed "Garage to Storefront Program" in the coming weeks, which would forgive or pay all city-related fees for anybody who starts a new business in a vacant storefront of 4,000 square feet or less in Historic Downtwon Gresham, Civic Neighborhood, or Rockwood in the next year.
The State of the City will be televised live on MetroEast Community Media. For replay times visit MetroEast.org. The speech will also be live at GreshamOregon.gov/videos, and a transcript will be available after the address.
The event will be held at Gresham City Hall, Council Chambers, 1333 NW Eastman Parkway. The event is open to the general public.
