The District 4 team and I toured the new East County Library in Gresham last week. We're so excited for the community to have a space to gather, study, create, and connect! Stay tuned for more updates. #EastMultnomahCounty #MultnomahCountyLibrary #PublicLibrary #CommunitySpace
The North entrance of the new library, still under construction. The large concrete door frame is engraved with "East County Library." Benches and tools sit inside the doors with ropes of wire hanging in various places. The South exterior of the library. Large wood beams support the angular roof. Blue skies fill the backdrop.

Last month, I had the lovely opportunity to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the launch of UpRiver Village - a new non-profit organization that serves as a social network for adults 55+ in East County 💚 📰 Read about the ribbon-cutting ceremony here: theoutlookonline.com/2025/07/03/u...
Three mayors of East County, Commissioner Jones-Dixon, and UpRiver Village staff smile and stand in front of a ceremonial ribbon, as it's about to be cut by an UpRiver Village staff member.
