> The workshop will feature Bridgette Epple, executive director of Downtown Washington, Inc., a 2013 Great American Main Street award winning community. Under her tenure, the program was the active developer of a few key projects in the downtown. Faced with the closure of the post office in downtown Washington (MO), the fate of the historic building looked bleak. A handsome red brick building with arched windows and a neo-Classical pedimented entryway, the Old Post Office was beloved by the community since it was built in 1922. So Downtown Washington Inc. stepped in. Working with its sister organization, the Historic Washington Foundation, DWI bought the post office. Tax credits and grants were applied toward restoring the exterior. To raise additional funds, DWI's Organization Committee threw a Post Office Bash. Come hear about this project and other examples where the local Main Street organization stepped in to be the catalyst for development. The workshop is free to Oregon Main Street Network communities, but registration is required.
