On the Agenda: Approval of the Rockwood 10 Project

Click to enlarge

Rockwood 10 is a proposed 5 building workforce housing project located in the heart of the Rockwood neighborhood at SE 184th & SE Yamhill, in Gresham, Oregon.

"As the diverse Rockwood population continues to increase, the supply of high quality and attainable housing becomes even more scarce. While Rockwood 10 will be the largest new housing community in the Rockwood neighborhood of Gresham with its 224 units, Rockwood 10 is still just a small reprieve to this housing crisis. This project is designed to not only meet the needs of the general workforce community, but also of the population demographic that tends to be larger families. This site includes five, 4-story buildings, plus a stand-alone community building. All units are a mix of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4- bedrooms." according to the info here www.communitydevpartners.com/rockwood10

The Wilkes East Neighborhood Association supports the Rockwood Neighborhood Association in their objection to the approval of this 7.4 acre 224 unit workforce housing project due to the overwhelming number of affordable housing units already located in Rockwood, lack of parking, and land-locked infill design. The proposed site is located approximately SE 184th & SE Yamhill, in the undeveloped area between SE Yamhill St and the East County Courthouse on SE Stark St. Please attend this meeting and show your support for not approving this project.
