[OMS_MANAGERS] Oregon Main Street Network Update

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

Oregon Main Street Network Update!

At the end of 2021, the Oregon Heritage Outreach Team met to undertake a strategic planning process for the Oregon Main Network. Since its inception in 2007, OMS has undergone assessments and tweaked the tiers but this was the first full look at how we provide services moving forward. Some of the factors driving the timing are:

  *   need to support a broad range of programs from those that have participated since the outset to communities just beginning their journey,
  *   desire to deepen relationships across the Network,
  *   prioritize community engagement to increase feeling of belonging,
  *   establish strategic direction at the local level,
  *   promote the value of heritage, and
  *   communicate the importance of downtown to overall health of community.

We are excited to share the draft of the strategic plan overview<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OMSStrategicPlanOverview.pdf> and new tier structure<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OregonMainStreetNetwork_TierLevels.pdf> with the Network. Attached is a copy of the PPT shared during the Mornings on Main call today. And, here's a list of where we feel our current Network communities will be in the new tiers: Oregon Main Street Network Communities new tier list<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/TierList_March2022.pdf>

We welcome your suggestions and comments. We will incorporate feedback as appropriate before finalizing the structure and officially launching in June. Please provide your comments or suggestions by May 1, 2022, via email to: sheri.stuart at oprd.oregon.gov.<mailto:sheri.stuart at oprd.oregon.gov>
