Chamber in Pictures
|
Mayor Shane Bemis shared exciting news at the State of the City Address. Among the many exciting improvements to our city includes Hogan Butte Nature Park and an aggressive street maintenance project. Look out potholes, you are about to be eliminated.
You ready for a barbecue? Join us at Buffalo Wild Wings for a W.O.W. on April 5th. Or drive over to Burns Feed store and have Troy Guisto teach you how to do it yourself.
It might not look like spring outside, but it sure does at Nancy's Floral. Mayor Bemis sent the Chamber staff a beautiful bouquet from Nancy's Floral after the State of the City Address. Thank you Mayor and thank you Nancy's Floral.

 Spring Is Here!
It's been a rough winter! But, spring is here and bike riding is back on many of our minds as the days get longer and the temps climb. As a reminder, we have the East Multnomah Cycling Hub maps and itineraries ready for you as you venture out by bicycle. Look for them at Gresham Bike Shop, River City Bikes, Velo Cult, and of course at our Gresham Chamber offices!
