  1.  Committed Volunteers & Innovative Strategies Bring Vibrancy Back to Rural Main Streets

Since 2020, RDI, in partnership with Oregon, Washington, and Idaho State Main Street coordinating programs, and funded in part by USDA Rural Development, has been bringing together a network of Main Street leaders to build fundamental skills for economic recovery and resiliency. Through this program we've been inspired by people in rural communities whose tireless work and inspiring and creative efforts are contributing to the vibrancy of their downtowns, and we've compiled some of their stories.
