This is an open forum....your feedback, opinions and ideas are wanted!
Surely everyone would like a job that's a short distance from home. Especially now that gas prices are eating into household budgets. But are there enough jobs, and is there enough of an employment balance for our community to survive and thrive.....and grow the value of our real estate holdings?
The link below is a few years old, but I live in Gresham, and I can tell you not much has changed when it comes to employment........except for the advent of cluster/condo housing along the light rail lines and trendy restaurant and shopping areas of the new "Civic" area of town. This might work minimally to sustain the services and retail industries, for those who can live in Gresham and commute to their more urban jobs via MAX light rail. If the cost of gas continues to rise, and no significant employment growth occurs....We will need more park and ride facilities for those who must commute outside our area for an income.
