[OMS_MANAGERS] OMS Video Call Notes

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

This message is being distributed over the OMS listserv. All responses will be over the listserv.

Thanks Kevin - lots of good ideas this morning once again. A couple ideas stood up for me:

  *   Local landlords in Astoria working with their tenants on rent flexibility
  *   Coordinated delivery van service in Beaverton (luckily, a business owner had a van that wasn't being used but was insured for delivery that could quickly be re-purposed to serve as delivery van for businesses who can sell on-line or over the phone w/deliveries going out once per day for all).
  *   Take-out food service from restaurants is working in Albany - some restaurants were sold out on Friday. ADA is playing a big role in getting the message out.
  *   Some of the chefs in Astoria are doing online cooking videos.

And, just in case folks missed it, I was so inspired by the call last week, I wrote a blog for our Oregon Heritage Exchange - see below.

Oregon Main Street Network rallies amidst COVID-19 impact

As events were unfolding last week, Oregon Main Street Network managers took the initiative to organize a video conference call with each other to get inspiration, support, and ideas on how best to support their business owners, downtowns, and community during this time. Sheri Stuart, Oregon Main Street Network Coordinator shares some of the conversation in the most recent Oregon Heritage Exchange Blog post, Main Streets Coming Together<https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2020/03/18/main-streets-coming-together/>.
