GRESHAM, OR — An early morning arson badly damaged a nearly century-old building in downtown Gresham. The building is the long-time home to both the Walker Travel Agency and the Gresham Chamber of Commerce. Firefighters responded just before 2 a.m. on Monday to the building on Main Street just off Division. Gresham High School is right across the street. The chamber of commerce posted that it's a "sad today today," adding that they're working on both "a short term and long term plan to move forward." Gresham Police arrested a 43-year-old woman in connection with the fire and charged her with arson. They have not yet said what happened or where she was arrested.
