City of Gresham Survey Poll
Did you know the City of Gresham has $12.7 million dollars of federal COVID support to spend in OUR community?

Without a business perspective being heard, the ARPA funds may go to programs with little or no return on investment. These are one time funds that could generate reoccurring revenue helping drive our regional economy.
 
Speak up. Offer suggestions. We need you to help your Mayor and Council decide where that money needs to be spent!
