[OMS_MANAGERS] Excellence on Main Awards

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

Please join us as we announce the 2021 Excellence on Main Award Winners on Thursday, October 7 (Part 1 at 9  to 10 am, and Part 2 at 4 to 5 pm), during our 2021 Oregon Main Street (virtual) conference. The award announcements are open to the public so please feel free to share the attached flyer with info on time, categories, and Zoom link to join the celebration.

Oregon Main Street's Excellence on Main Awards were created in 2010 to recognize the efforts of those who work day-in and day-out to revitalize Oregon's historic downtowns and traditional commercial neighborhood districts. 14 communities were honored with awards this year. These awards recognize the outstanding efforts of local programs in creating and supporting projects and activities that exemplify Oregon Main Street's mission to build equitable, livable, and sustainable communities that will grow Oregon's economy while maintaining a sense of place.

The wide range of awards is reflective of the comprehensive Main Street Approach(tm) to downtown revitalization developed by the National Main Street Center. This model is used by the communities participating in the three-tier Main Street Track of Oregon Main Street Network. From 2010 to 2020, communities participating in the Performing Main Street and Transforming Downtown levels - the top two tiers - have seen $125 million in private building improvement projects, $124.6 million in public projects, 1,347 private rehab projects, 639 net new businesses, 163 business expansions, 126 business acquisitions, and 3,961 net new jobs. In addition, 250,348 hours of volunteer time has been contributed to local main street organizations in the top tiers.
