Funds for the Rockwood-West Gresham Renewal Plan will support new projects such as: — Transportation improvements — Parks and Recreation — Access to quality housing options — Jobs Projects funded will reflect the goals of the adopted 2003 plan and future community outreach will assist in prioritizing the projects.
