<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">2022 Oregon Main Street Grant recipients announced<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oregon Heritage, a division of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, awarded 28 matching grants worth $5,000,000 to Oregon Main Street Network organizations across the state for building projects that encourage economic revitalization.
Projects range from façade improvement to basic facilities and housing with awards ranging from $23,850-$200,000.
<br>
<br>
The department funded applications that best conveyed the ability to stimulate private investment and local economic development, best fit within the community’s long-range plan for downtown vitality, and community need.
<br>
<br>
Funded projects include: <br>
• Several projects will bring long-vacant buildings back into use including projects by the Chiloquin Vision In Progress, City of Malin, Oregon Frontier Chamber of Commerce (project in Spray), Dallas Downtown Association, Downtown Cottage Grove, Harney County
Opportunity Team, Klamath Falls Downtown Association, Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance, and Sheridan Revitalization Movement, Sutherlin Downtown Development, Inc.
<br>
• Several projects were for housing increases or improvements including projects in Beaverton, La Grande, and Lebanon.
<br>
• Two former local government properties will be refurbished to support local business in Independence and Maupin.
<br>
• Roof and electrical improvements will be made to six commercial buildings in downtown Reedsport.
<br>
• Several communities were selected for work to repair or restore their historic theaters: Marquee and façade repairs at the Alger Theater in Lakeview; sign restoration and façade repair at the Liberty Theatre in North Bend; and structural work for the Orpheum
Theatre restoration in Baker City. <br>
• Restoration of the Malmgren Garage in downtown Talent following near destruction in the 2020 Almeda fire.
<br>
<br>
Other communities awarded grants include Albany, Moro, Stayton, Gold Beach, Oregon City, and Monmouth.
<br>
<br>
The grant program was created during the 2015 legislative session, and placed with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. The legislation established a permanent fund for the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant, and provided an initial infusion
of funds from the sale of lottery bonds. The legislature included the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant in the lottery bond package approved in 2021. An additional grant round will occur in 2023. The funds must be used to award grants to participating
Oregon Main Street Network organizations to acquire, rehabilitate or construct buildings to facilitate community revitalization. The program also requires that at least 50 percent of the funds go to rural communities as defined in the bill.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <b>Whiting Public Engagement Program </b>(WPEP) is a distinctive national grant founded to champion the public humanities in all forms, and to highlight the roles scholars play in collaborative work to deploy the humanities for the
public good. Since it began in 2016, the WPEP has given $2.7 million to launch and expand projects in the US and beyond. Winners are selected through a highly competitive process beginning with nomination by a university or humanities nonprofit and proceeding
through two further stages of peer review by expert public humanists.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">John Arroyo of University of Oregon is one of 6 national projects to receive a fellowship for a documentary series on the history of housing of migrant workers in Oregon.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Casa y Comunidad</b>: Latinx Housing in Oregon <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>John Arroyo </b>(University of Oregon; Planning, Public Policy, and Management)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">John Arroyo and the <i>Casa y Comunidad </i>team will create a series of short documentary films on the history and housing of migrant Latinx workers in Oregon—a rapidly growing population in the Pacific Northwest – in close collaboration
with the workers themselves. Drawing on <i>testimonios </i>(oral histories) of multiple generations of families as well as the work of historians, policymakers, and other experts, the project will trace how new waves of both documented and undocumented migration
has affected the area’s culture and economy, including a growing housing shortage with dire consequences for the workers and the region. Specific segments of the series will highlight topics ranging from wildfire recovery to inter-generational housing to land
use challenges. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each episode will center on one family or individual, incorporating on-site filming to capture their personal housing history along with interviews with other experts to provide regional and historical context. The project website will
add bilingual supplementary learning aids including photographs, historical documents, planning records, and news articles expanding on the themes addressed in the videos. Partners include state and local agencies, school districts, and ethnic-serving community-based
organizations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The judges were impressed by the deeply collaborative nature of the project; the robust plan to share the series with housing policymakers, thus injecting history into public discussions about the present; and the strength of the collaboration
with the Oregon Department of Education, an enthusiastic partner that will introduce the series to 9-12th grade teachers as they begin to comply with a new state-wide ethnic studies requirement.
<i>Casa y Comunidad </i>also coordinates with a new initiative Arroyo is leading at the University of Oregon: the Pacific Northwest Just Futures Institute for Racial and Climate Justice, funded in 2021 by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.<o:p></o:p></p>

manages 254 Oregon State Parks comprising more than 100,000 acres. A hundred years ago, state parks were barely an idea in Oregon. A 5-acre donation in 1922 became Oregon’s first official state park. Join us in 2022 to celebrate the places Oregonians hold
dear: the viewpoints, the waterfalls, the trails and the historic landmarks. Share photos and memories on social media with the hashtags #oregonstateparks and #oregonstateparks100.
