A delightful 1874 Victorian farmhouse
Take a step back into history at the Zimmerman House, a Victorian era farmhouse, built in 1874 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This beautiful farmhouse is a perfect reflection of typical Columbia River dairy farm life in the late 1800s. The Zimmerman Heritage Farm is a unique cultural education and recreational resource that is being created for the benefit of the public on a 5.98-acre historic site in Gresham, Oregon.

A community forum to provide information and a facilitated discussion about the process for locating wireless communications on utility poles in the public right-of-way.
This project, which is on the Council Work Plan, involves revising the Community Development Code to eliminate the regulation of wireless communication facilities located in the public right-of-way and permit it as an outright allowed use subject to obtaining a permit to use the right-of-way.

Discover Our Feathered Residents
Some of our most familiar birds are the permanent residents that we see in our yards and neighborhoods throughout the year. They are joined by some “winter visitors” and are easily seen at bird feeders during the cold months. These birds are easy to learn because you have excellent chances of seeing them repeatedly. This class will cover some bird feeding basics and identification of the most common birds seen in our yards in winter.
Free. No registration required.

Join us to provide your comments on draft Downtown Development Code changes.
Issues include floor area ratio (the minimum amount of building required on each lot), streets and sidewalks, minimum parking standards and building design standards.
The Downtown Plan Review project seeks to remove obstacles to Downtown development while retaining the vision of Downtown as: a center for jobs and housing; a thriving and unique entertainment, nightlife and shopping district; and a visually interesting place with buildings and streetscapes of high design quality.
