  1.  VIDEO - What We Didn't Learn In School: Understanding Diverse Rural Experiences

Rural Development Initiatives

With the resurgence of social justice movements around the country, people in rural places are becoming more aware of the history of marginalized neighbors in their communities. Moderated by RDI's Heidi Khokhar, panelists Taylor Stewart of the Oregon Remembrance Project, and Bobbie Conner of the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, will share important stories of history in our region that often get left out of the mainstream narrative, and provide the opportunity to learn more about ways we can broaden our understanding of the variety of life experiences in the rural Pacific Northwest.

There are thousands of designated and informal Main Streets in America's smaller towns and urban neighborhoods. These districts are often composed of smaller, one- to three-story masonry or woodframe buildings with retail shops or offices on the first floor and opportunities for residential units above. Far too often, the entire building or upper stories are vacant or underutilized, hampering reinvigoration of neighborhoods. Owners wanting to rehabilitate these buildings are commonly stymied by the high cost of building upgrades forced upon them "to meet modern building codes." These demands become economic barriers to investment and burdens to owners. The code barrier has become a reality in many communities, particularly for the upper stories, where vacancy rates can exceed 50%. This workshop will provide a detailed examination of the building stock on Main Street to explore its typical building features and connect these characteristics to compliance paths within the International Existing Building Code (IEBC). The team of experts for this workshop will break down issues related to fire safety, accessibility and energy conservation and explore more financially viable alternatives to make buildings safer and meet codes.

13.5 hours worth of AIA, RCEP,  ICC and AICP credits have been applied for.

Fees:
*    $175 - APT and Main Street members
*    $295 - Non-members
*    $175 - Government Rate
*    $75 - Student
