Please join me in welcoming the Newberg Downtown Coalition, Salem Downtown Partnership, and Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance into the Transforming Downtown level of Oregon Main Street. All three programs have been participating at the Exploring Downtown level. Communities participating at this level have a high degree of commitment to organizing a downtown revitalization program using the Main Street Approach®. The selection process included submitting an application that describes their community, downtown area, historical identity, goals, readiness, support, and funding commitments.


The primary emphasis of the Transforming Downtown level is to provide technical assistance to communities selected during their program’s formative years.  Acceptance into this level allows communities to participate in training, community assessments, technical assistance, the Oregon Main Street network, and receive local capacity building support. There isn’t a fee to participate in the Oregon Main Street network.



Congratulations to Milton-Freewater, Newberg, and Salem!
