<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2022%20Annual%20Report_8.5x11.pdf">
<b>2022 Oregon Main Street Annual Report</b></a> shares programmatic highlights as well as annual and cumulative revitalization statistics from communities participating in the Main Street Track of the Oregon Main Street Network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Data from the 38 communities submitting quarterly reports in 2022 showed there were:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">$34,064,038 private sector reinvestment in building improvement projects<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">$32,514.507 public sector reinvestment in public improvement projects<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">152 building rehab projects completed<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">92 net new business openings<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">18 business expansions<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">521 net new jobs<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">25,450 volunteer hours given by community members to improve their downtowns<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">“Since we began tracking data from our Main Street Track members, we have seen year after year the positive social, cultural, and economic impact on communities in breaking the cycle of disinvestment and encouraging
reinvestment,” said Sheri Stuart, Oregon Main Street Coordinator. “We support these efforts through training, technical assistance, networking, and developing new tools and guidebooks.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">One of the highlights featured in the report is the creation of a pilot Rural Regional Main Street effort in partnership with the Oregon Frontier Chamber of Commerce with participating communities in Sherman,
Gilliam, and Wheeler Counties. This is helping connect very small, rural communities with Oregon Main Street. The report also features the list of 2022 Excellence on Main Award recipients, including the inaugural Open Door Award which went to the Lebanon Downtown
Association’s Family Pride Day. This award goes to a Main Street that has demonstrated a commitment to creating an environment that is welcoming and inviting to all through programs, outreach, or other efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Communities participating in the Main Street Track of the Oregon Main Street Network leverage the nationally recognized Main Street Approach™ developed by Main Street America™ to sustain and enhance historic
downtowns and traditional commercial districts across Oregon. By using this time-tested methodology, the recent
<a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2022OMS_Impact_Report.pdf">Impact of Oregon Main Streets</a> study, showed that participants in the Main Street Track have the following impacts:<o:p></o:p></p>
