[OMS_MANAGERS] Your Biggest Successes!

[Kendall Bell]

From Klamath Falls
Design-We filled 50 of our empty flower pots with winter greenery in partnership with our local garden club
Organization-We successfully obtained a grant to pay for a coordinator for a year.
Economic Vitality-We helped facilitate the city offering a facade improvement grant and “change of use” grant.
	                   -We are about to launch a “Business Plan Competition” in order to fill an empty space downtown.
Thank you, Kendall
Klamath Falls Downtown Association
