Gresham First has organized a strong grassroots organization of residents, business owners, environmental activists and neighborhood representatives to raise awareness and organize opposition to large-scale development that will negatively impact our community. Together we are using the power of scientific research, public education and advocacy to shape our community. Many Oregon neighborhoods have successfully stopped unwanted development through strong community involvement. There are many ways to help! Click each link for details:
