On the market: Homes for sale in Gresham cost up to $1.4 million and a lot less
Updated 9:18 AM;
Gresham grew from a one-night stop by pioneers heading west to downtown Portland into a city in which former berry farms were developed into suburban housing.
Today, the median sale price for a Gresham home is $430,000, which is the point in the middle in which half of the 73 residential properties for sale, some of which is vacant land, sell at a higher price and the other half at a lower price, according to the Oregonian’s real estate database.
Here’s what is for sale in the city named not after its founders, the Powell brothers, but the postmaster general who approved a mail stop in the settlement in 1884, decades before it incorporated in time to celebrate the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition.
What bright future? Some Bay County students fret about college options under Florida bill Tony Mixon, The News Herald
PANAMA CITY Some former and current Bay County students are concerned about legislators proposed changes to the Florida Bright Futures program.
Florida Senate Bill 86, they say, will leave many students with fewer options to attend college.
The proposed modifications to the program would require students to view a dashboard after their first year of college that shows the career prospects for their major. That was a modification made following pushback an earlier version of the bill, which favored students who chose degrees geared toward employment. The earlier version would have also denied or reduced scholarships for those who choose majors that are less fruitful.
