?  Important Update: One issue was discovered. Two categories were missed in the list of categories: Standout Volunteer  and Outstanding Special Project. Since people have started working on nominations...way to go!...We can't change the application.

So here is the work around. For both of these categories, in the Nomination Category drop down select Executive Manager (or Main Street Manager) of the Year. This will avoid any confusion because we know the managers.

In the Description Category - Enter 'Standout Volunteer' or 'Outstanding Special Project' At the very beginning of the Description section.

Our apologies for complicating a transition to a new process. Change is hard, this year is hardPlease, please, please don't let it stop you from nominating!

  1.  Upstairs/Downtown Workshop, Tuesday, June 22, 1 to 5 p.m. w/Follow-up Virtual Conversation with Oregon Panel at 6 pm

We are partnering with the Downtown Oregon City Association and the City of Oregon City in bringing the award-winning Upstairs/Downtown workshop with Dan Carmody and Mike Jackson to Oregon City on Tuesday, June 22, 1 to 5 p.m., Eternal Impact Center, 900 Main Street. The workshop will also be presented virtually courtesy of the Downtown Oregon City Association to enable property owners and Main Street board members and staff from other communities to participate. We worked with the Klamath Falls Downtown Association to host this workshop a few years ago which help to plant the seed to encourage housing development in downtown Klamath Falls. The workshop is made possible through the generous funding support of Transportation Growth Management.

Email liz at downtownoregoncity.org<mailto:liz at downtownoregoncity.org> to reserve your spot.

The workshop agenda includes:

INTRODUCTION AND CREATING A DOWNTOWN HOUSING MARKET

Dan Carmody and Mike Jackson introduce Upstairs Downtown, an award-winning downtown revitalization program. Upstairs Downtown gives participants a working knowledge of the development challenges and opportunities needed to increase the use of vacant upper stories found in many older downtowns. Dan Carmody kicks off the program with a framework for successful revitalization. Learn how to recognize the inherent assets of downtown and build enthusiasm and support for upper floor strategies.

BUILDING ASSESSMENT: AND CODE

Mike Jackson provides a comprehensive overview of the architectural and planning variables that affect upper story reuse. Lean how to recognize the key assets to build upon as well as the major barriers to overcome.

UPPER FLOOR ECONOMICS

Dan Carmody provides a primer on development economics and finance. Learn how to accurately project costs and income and understanding the details of a real estate "pro forma." Learn about the different perspectives of key participants in the development equation so you can "make the numbers work."

UPSTAIRS DOWNTOWN CASE STUDIES

Mike Jackson will present a variety of completed projects that showcase development options and incentives. The use of federal tax credits and local incentives will be part of each case study.

FOLLOW-UP CONVERSATION with UPSTAIRS DOWNTOWN PANEL IN OREGON AT 6 PM

Property owners in Oregon will talk about their recent projects in Astoria and Klamath Falls - including a brief description of their project, challenges, funding, and lessons learned. There is a separate Zoom link to join this presentation & conversation:
