<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/grants.aspx">grants</a> for up to $400,000 in matching funds for downtown revitalization efforts in communities participating in the Oregon Main Street Network. The Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant
funds may be used to acquire, rehabilitate, and construct buildings on properties in designated downtown areas statewide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Funded projects must facilitate community revitalization that will lead to private investment, job creation or retention, establishing or expanding viable businesses,
or creating a stronger tax base. Projects may include façade improvement, accessibility enhancement, basic utilities, second floor renovations, and more. Only organizations participating in the Oregon Main Street Network are eligible to apply. Projects must
be within approved Main Street areas. Eligible organizations may collaborate with the local governments and private property owners to apply for projects that will have the biggest benefit to the downtown. The grant application deadline is March 13, 2025. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In 2015, Oregon legislation established a permanent fund for the grant and provided an initial $2.5 million of funding as part of a larger lottery bond package.
The $10,000,000 lottery bond funding for this grant cycle was approved in the 2023 legislative session.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Preservation office staff is happy to talk with applicants about potential grant projects and review applications prior to submitting. A free online workshop specific

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Discover how your museum or historic site can adapt to and mitigate environmental change, and how you can engage the public in environmental programming at next
month’s virtual summit. <br>
<br>
It all starts on Tuesday, January 28, with an inspiring keynote address by Sarah Sutton, CEO of Environment & Culture Partners:
<br>
<b>Keynote Address: Museums and Historic Sites as Settings for Climate Agency and Hope</b><br>
<br>
Sarah will share how museums and historic sites—keepers of our cultural and environmental legacy—can engage the public on climate change, lead by example with sustainable practices, and foster a sense of climate hope for communities.
<br>
<br>
<b>A Full Day of Actionable Insights</b><br>
After Sarah’s keynote, stay for a series of thought-provoking sessions designed to help you implement sustainability at your site:<br>
<br>
<b>Effectively Communicating Climate Change to the Public</b><br>
Learn research-backed strategies to address climate issues in ways that resonate and inspire positive action.
<br>
<br>
<b>Increasing Environmental Sustainability on Your Site</b><br>
Explore how organizations are making their operations more sustainable, from landscapes to built environments.
<br>
<br>
<b>Preparing for and Responding to an Environmental Disaster</b><br>
Hear lessons from the devastating 2023 Maui wildfires and strategies to safeguard your site against disasters.
<br>
<br>
And that’s just the start! Day two will feature practical tools, success stories from across the country, and a powerful closing session on preserving historic communities in Louisiana while fighting for environmental justice.
<br>
<br>
<b>Reserve Your Spot Now</b><br>
Don’t miss this opportunity to equip your organization with tools and inspiration to lead on environmental sustainability.
