> 2016 was a prosperous year for Downtown Hillsboro. The district had a total of 13 new businesses, and 8 expansions. New retail businesses that have opened their doors this year include Perks of Art and Rune & Board Game Store, along with two new art galleries, Catherine Bede Gallery and Sophia Palmer Gallery. New restaurants and eateries that opened are Aybla Mediterranean Grill and Sweet Promises Bakery. And we have seen a broad mix of service businesses join the Downtown district, including Sea Wave Massage Therapy, Infinite Moments Photography, Leather Pros Inc, Proffer Real Estate, L Technology Group and iTek Mobile. Mi Rancho Club, a cultural event center also opened its doors for business.

With all the new and expanded businesses, we welcomed 47 new employees to Downtown Hillsboro in 2016.

Completed improvements add up to a total investment of approximately $298,000 in Downtown building stock. The City of Hillsboro also made a large investment in the future growth of Downtown by placing an offer to purchase the Hank's Thriftway building. This building, taking up an entire city block, will play a major role in the connection of Downtown to the adjacent Health & Education district that houses PCC, Pacific University, and Tuality Healthcare Center.

In 2016, the Hillsboro Downtown Partnership (HDP) established four Downtown focused committees working on exciting and innovative revitalization projects in various focal areas: Promotions, Design, Business Development, and Organization. HDP hosted the Inaugural Farm to Table Dinner, serving 250 people in the middle of Main Street, featuring 5 Downtown restaurants and chefs, local farms, vineyards, cideries and breweries. The Safe N Sane Trick or Treat event was retooled into a street festival titled Harvest on Main, and we have seen an increase in business and community participation in Hillsboro's First Tuesday Art Walk.

Insomnia Coffee Company is opening their 6th and largest location right on Main Street, complete with a 4 and 20-person conference room, baked goods, and Dapper & Wise roasting facility. Decadent Creations Bakery plans to open in Spring, and the build out includes a commissary kitchen, classroom space, and green space complete with outdoor seating. Lastly, the Study of Sweets plans to open in mid-February and features handmade confections, chocolates, candies and an extensive hot chocolate list. They will even have a make-your-own chocolate bar station!

Also coming to the district is the newest piece of public art, titled the Walking Warrior by Sharon Agnor. This piece will be installed on the corner of 4th and Main, and will have an artist and community celebration in conjunction with February's First Tuesday Art Walk, taking place on February 2nd. In Spring, the City is implementing Hillsboro's first intersection painting at the entry way of Downtown, in the intersection of 5th and Main. The artwork will take up the entirety of the intersection, creating awareness of Downtown and welcoming people as they arrive. We are also excited to see the results of the storefront improvements taking place at Let's Play Toy Store, Insomnia Coffee Company, Allied Chiropractic, Christian Science Reading Room, and Decadent Creations.
