  1.  Oregon Department of Transportation is updating the Oregon Transportation Plan. I am sitting on one of the work groups (Economic & Livability) but there will be many touchpoints for you to provide input throughout the process. ODOT has an online "open house" to learn more about the plan, why an update is needed, and how it impacts you. You can share your feedback at the different information stations. The "open house" will be accessible until January 24 at: https://odotopenhouse.org/oregon-transportation-plan-update

For more information about the planning process, see https://www.oregon.gov/odot/Planning/Pages/Oregon-Transportation-Plan-Update.aspx

  1.  AARP Community Challenge grant is scheduled to open in February. The AARP Community Challenge<https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/community-challenge/> grant program is part of the nationwide AARP Livable Communities<https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/about/> initiative that helps communities become great places to live for residents of all ages. The program is intended to help communities make immediate improvements and jump-start long-term progress in support of residents of all ages. Since the program's debut in 2017, AARP has awarded $9.3 million through 800 grants. The projects have been completed across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
  2.  T-Mobile Hometown Grants. The application for the next round of T-Mobile grants are due on March 31. T-Mobile is focusing on revitalizing community spaces in towns with 50,000 people or less, and Main Street programs are encouraged to apply. Submit a proposal for a town project of your choice, and if selected, use the funds to get started. The T-Mobile Hometown Grants program will help fund projects to build, rebuild, or refresh community spaces that help foster local connections in your town. For example, this might include the town square pavilion, a historic building, an outdoor park, a ball field, or a library-- every town has places where friends and neighbors connect.
