County Board voted to declare Albina Library Annex as surplus
On January 16, the Multnomah County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution to declare Albina Library Annex as surplus, beginning the process to dispose of (sell) the property. The renovated Albina Library is part of the Library Capital Bond program approved by voters in 2020.
Approval of the resolution to declare the building as surplus kicked off a 60-day public comment period. This process is designed to provide public input for Multnomah County commissioners to consider before disposing of the property.
Albina Library Annex: Located at 236 NE Knott St, Portland, the 1,389 square foot single family residence was built in 1909 on a 7,500 square foot parcel in Portland’s Eliot neighborhood.
County Resolution 2018-005, adopted in January 2018, describes the property disposition process.
The public comment period on the disposition for 60 days began January 16 and ended on March 17, 2025.
The Hansen Building and surrounding property was declared surplus by Resolution No. 04-169 dated November 18, 2004. The property is being studied to clarify its future use to the County.
