Just wanted to share the good news...three new communities have been accepted at the "Transforming Downtown" level of the Oregon Main Street network: Coos Bay, Port Orford, and Sherwood. While not a requirement to be accepted at the Transforming Downtown level, all three communities were participating at the Exploring Downtown level.

There is a competitive application process open once per year to apply for the Transforming Downtown level. Communities must demonstrate they have a high level of commitment to implementing a comprehensive downtown revitalization program using the Main Street Approach and must have a cohesive core of historic or older commercial and mixed-use buildings that represent the community’s architectural heritage and may include compatible in-fill. They must also have a sufficient mass of businesses, buildings, and density to be effective, as well as be compact and pedestrian-oriented.
