Hey, Sheri!

Attached is the final schedule for our YOUR TOWN meetings, October 12-14th.  Wish you could join us, as it’s a dynamic line-up.  And we’ve got folks from Powers, Port Orford, Coquille, Myrtle Point, Bandon and more attending…a great regional effort. 

Thanks for all of your help, Sheri.  Hope to see you soon.

Official Notice

Accepting Applications into Oregon Main Street's “Transforming Downtown” Level

 

Oregon Main Street is now accepting applications from organizations interested in receiving downtown revitalization assistance at its “Transforming Downtown” designation level. Transforming Downtown is for communities who are committed to downtown revitalization using the Main Street Approach® but need technical assistance to take them to the next level. The Oregon Main Street Network also includes “Performing Main Street” and “Exploring Downtown” levels of participation. Currently, there are 75 communities participating in the Network.

 

Successful applicants receive assistance to help revitalize the economy, appearance, and image of their traditional business district. Services vary from community to community, but generally include work plan and committee development along with specialized training and networking opportunities. 

 

Transforming Downtown level applications are available by calling Sheri Stuart at 503.986.0679 or email at sheri.stuart at state.or.us.

 

Visit www.oregonheritage.org <http://www.oregonheritage.org/>  for more information on the Oregon Main Street Network, including eligibility and designation criteria for all three levels of assistance. Transforming Downtown level applications must be received by December 5, 2011.  

 

The effort is modeled on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Main Street Approach®, which has been used in more than 2,000 cities nationwide to recapture business interest and vitality in downtown areas.  This approach emphasizes four critical areas of downtown revitalization: organization helps everyone work towards the same goals and maximizes involvement of public and private leaders within the community; promotion brings people back downtown by helping to attract visitors, shoppers, and investors; design enhances a district’s appearance and pedestrian amenities while preserving its historic features; and economic restructuring stimulates business development and helps strengthen the district’s economic base.
