2.       Applications for Oregon Heritage Preservation Scholarship available
- Note: If you plan on attending the National Main Street Conference next
year, you might want to consider applying for this! I know some communities
have also applied to cover travel expenses to the Oregon Main Street
Conference..

Would you like to attend a preservation-related conference, workshop, or
training in the next year? The Oregon Heritage Preservation Scholarship
provides financial assistance for Oregon residents to attend a
preservation-related conference, workshop, or training in the United States
between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015. Eligible travel expenses include
registration fees, transportation, lodging and meals.

 

Scholarships will be offered to those actively involved in local
preservation efforts and who demonstrate how attendance at a
preservation-related conference, workshop, or training will help meet the
preservation needs of their local community.

 

Scholarships are competitive and offered twice per year. The first-round
deadline is June 6, 2014.

 

For more information, visit
www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/Scholarships.aspx or contact Cara
Kaser at cara.kaser at state.or.us or (503) 986-0670.

 

3.       Oregon Heritage Conference: People who live in historic homes,
support heritage areas in their community, operate a business or own a
historic building will find numerous sessions of interest at the Oregon
Heritage Conference April 23-25 in Albany. Here is a sampling of those
sessions:

 

Redeveloping commercial spaces and upper floors in downtown buildings can be
challenging, but not impossible. Meet with building officials from the City
of Albany, the State of Oregon, and professional architects, historic
preservation consultants, and urban planners during this day-long
"Commercial Redevelopment: 2nd Floors, Feasibility and Financing" workshop
on April 23 to learn what you need to know for commercial redevelopment.
Through tours of several downtown Albany buildings, group discussions and
talks from local developers and consultants, you'll learn about how to meet
applicable building codes, preservation treatments for historic buildings,
and the nuts and bolts of feasibility studies and financing for your next
project.

 

Three experienced panelists will describe how business, government and
historic preservation tradespersons can work together to create businesses
which embrace heritage. They will talk about how businesses have adopted
heritage places, events or names, how old buildings have been fixed up for
places of business, and how businesses have used their embrace of heritage
successfully.

 

John Goodenberger and Lucien Swerdloff of Clatsop Community College's
historic preservation program will explore concepts and technologies for
improving the energy efficiency of small commercial buildings through
preservation. Participants will engage in a process to "upgrade" an existing
building to improve its energy efficiency while preserving its historic
character.

 

Other sessions include the handling historic district regulation, historic
barn re-use and preserving historic landscapes. In addition, the nonprofit
Restore Oregon has organized a preservation pub around preserving the
diminishing number of pre-1865 buildings in Oregon.

 

For more information about the Oregon Heritage Conference and to register
for these sessions, visit

organized by Oregon Heritage, a division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department, along with the Albany Downtown Association, the Albany Visitors
Association and the City of Albany.
