GRESHAM, Ore. - On March 7 at 11:00 a.m. the Gresham Redevelopment Commission and Gresham Police Department will break ground on the Rockwood Public Safety Facility located at 675 N.E. 181st Ave. The public is welcome to attend this event.

"I am thrilled to see work start on the Rockwood Public Safety Facility, said Mayor Shane T. Bemis. The construction of this critical building marks the City's delivery on one of the most important goals in the Rockwood Urban Renewal Plan, and meets a longstanding community need.

The facility will create a welcoming and highly visible police presence in Rockwood, improving public safety and encouraging new investment in the area. Once completed the facility will house a range of police functions, including support for patrol officers serving Rockwood and other special units and programs, the new facility may also include a limited amount of space for public safety-related community uses.

This project is funded by urban renewal funds administered by the Gresham Redevelopment Commission, and satisfies Goal 5 of the Rockwood-West Gresham Renewal Plan, calling for "Development of Public Safety and Community Services Facilities."
