[OMS_MANAGERS] Deadline for Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant fast approaching

Thu Feb 21 10:31:34 PST 2019

Just wanted to remind you that the deadline for the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant is fast approaching. It is just a little over two weeks away on Friday, March 8. Some things to keep in mind:

*         Please make sure to register for the on-line system as soon as possible if you haven't done so already to ensure there aren't any last minute glitches for you. Don't wait for the last minute - it can take up to 2 days for approval on our end! Contact Kuri Gill if you have any issues (kuri.gill at oregon.gov).

*         Check to see if you have a copy of your designation letter or participation agreement and a copy of your approved boundary map. These were given to you electronically. Contact Katie (katie.henry at oregon.gov<mailto:katie.henry at oregon.gov>) or Sheri (sheri.stuart at oregon.gov<mailto:sheri.stuart at oregon.gov>) if you can't locate yours and need a copy since they need to be included with the application. Again - don't wait for the last minute in case any of this documentation is missing on your or our end.

Below is the link to the webinar from the Grant workshop on January 25 plus info on data sources. Attached are the guidelines and on-line instructions.

Regards, Sheri & Katie

Data sources:
American Fact Finder: https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/community_facts.xhtml
Helps you easily access census data about your community (housing, income, poverty, etc.).

Census Reporter: https://censusreporter.org/
Census Reporter is a Knight News Challenge-funded project to make it easier for journalists to write stories using information from the U.S. Census bureau. Place profiles and comparison pages provide a friendly interface for navigating data, including visualizations for a more useful first look.

Oregon Explorer: http://oregonexplorer.info/topics/rural-communities?qt-subtopic_quicktab=4&ptopic=140
The Oregon Explorer is designed to help you find and integrate data and information from state and federal agencies, local government, university researchers, and citizens. Note: I looked up the Census Reporter tab (bottom of the page in the link above). The data is shown graphically and verbally and compares your stats to your region and the state - super cool!

Enterprise Opportunity 360: https://enterprisecommunity.org/opportunity 360<https://enterprisecommunity.org/opportunity%20360>
Opportunity 360 provides a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing community challenges using cross-sector data, community engagement and measurement tools. You can easily access a report for your community that provides the framework and data necessary to assess both the available pathways to opportunity and the outcomes of opportunity.
