Courthouse
Construction Begins

facility to
expand services
Multnomah County is slated to
break ground Friday on the con­
struction of a new courts facility in
the Rockwood neighborhood of
Gresham.
The $ 19.6 million courthouse on
a 4.2 acre lot at Southeast 185th
Avenue and Stark Street is sched­
uled to open in spring 2012.
The expanded court facilities will
serve people being adjudicated for
misdemeanors, violations, small
claims, landlord and tenant actions,
ex parte hearings and document fil­
ing for civil and domestic relations
actions. Many of these functions
historically have been filed at the
downtown courthouse.
Multnomah County is required
by state statute to provide court
facilities in the city of Gresham for
violations that occur east of 122nd
Avenue. In 2008 alone, an estimated
27,000 defendants went through the
courthouse in Gresham.
The facility will replace the cur­
rent leased Gresham Courthouse.
The new courthouse will also in­
clude security, a data center and
office space for the Multnomah
County District Attorney’s office.
The Board o f Com m issioners
approved the construction and
financing o f the courthouse in O c­
tober. Financing includes approxi­
mately $ 15 m illion o f federal eco­
nomic stim ulus bonds. The re­
m aining portion will come from
the sale o f the South Edgefield
property.
The courthouse will use green
and energy reduction technology
such as solar, eco roofs and geo­
thermal ground source heating.
