On November 12, The Multnomah County Board of County Commissioners voted to declare Hansen property as surplus, beginning the disposition process to dispose of (sell) the property.
Approval of the resolution to declare the property as surplus kicks off a 90-day public comment period. This process is designed to provide public input for Multnomah County commissioners to consider before disposing of the property. Approval of the resolution also includes a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to be distributed to the development community.
