    Rockwood Cultural Asset Mapping : Building Community and Engaging Residents
    (University of Oregon, 2010) Moore, Stephanie; Fenn, John B., III
    This document outlines work done by graduate students in the Public Folklore and Cultural Programming course in the Arts & Administration Department during the Winter term 2010 and provides recommendations to the Gresham Redevelopment Commission for further study. The objective of this work was to build community identity in the Rockwood neighborhood by beginning the process of collecting the cultural assets important to Rockwood residents. Throughout the term the graduate students met with local community leaders in Rockwood to discuss previous community building initiatives and their issues. This information allowed us to understand what problems arise when trying to begin a fully inclusive community planning process.

    Sustainable Development Concept Plan for Rockwood
    (University of Oregon, 2009) Abbott, Steve; Margerum, Richard D.; Parker, Robert; Young, Robert F.
    The intent of this concept plan is to create a safe and central place for diverse community groups to come together, for businesses to grow, and for the physical design of the streets to provide a healthy, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. The concept plan presented in the following report suggests steps for transitioning Rockwood back to a thriving, and integral and valued part of the larger Gresham community. It is hoped that recommendations included here will provide the City of Gresham and residents of Rockwood with an actionable blueprint for achieving its sustainability goals.
