Grant Deadline Reminders:

  *   The Arts Build Communities program provides matching support to arts and other community-based organizations for projects that address a local community problem, issue or need through an arts-based solution. This program recognizes the role that the arts play in the broad cultural, social, educational, economic and tourism sectors of community life. The program fosters partnerships that strengthen arts engagement, access and involvement in communities. Successful projects demonstrate building local capacity to strengthen the arts in a community through these local partnerships. The Arts Build Communities program prioritizes projects that provide access to the arts for underserved communities. This includes communities that currently or historically face systemic barriers as defined by, but not limited to, geography, race/ethnicity, tribal affiliation, immigration status, socioeconomic status, ability/disability, age (youth and aging people), sexual orientation, gender identity or veteran status. Projects must support the integration of the arts and artists with community goals and may include new initiatives, new program development, cultural tourism and the expansion of existing arts and community development projects. Pre-development, design fees and community planning activities are eligible in this program. The application period closes Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.
  *   Grants from National Trust Preservation Funds (NTPF) are intended to encourage preservation at the local level by supporting on-going preservation work and by providing seed money for preservation projects. These grants help stimulate public discussion, enable local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for preservation projects, introduce the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourage financial participation by the private sector. A small grant at the right time can go a long way and is often the catalyst that inspires a community to take action on a preservation project. Grants generally start at $2,500 and range up to $5,000. Apply by October 1<https://us.engagingnetworks.app/page/email/click/10028/1940654?email=DheinyePr9pVzTNxl0rcdsS5Hda7Kfnj&campid=X%2BI2NXledwyZkArzVWMSmA==> For the October 1, 2023 grant round, the National Trust Preservation Funds grant program has dedicated funding to award in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C.
Oregon Main Street Conference, October 4-6, 2023, Downtown Independence: Are you getting excited for the Oregon Main Street Conference<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/omsconference.aspx>? We are! Check out these amazing walking tours:

  *   Riverfront Revitalization Tour:  Can recreation create economic opportunity?  In Independence it has!  Take a walk along the Willamette River and see how Independence has leveraged recreational amenities to bring people downtown, creating vibrancy and a customer base for local businesses.  We'll talk about the Riverview Park Amphitheater, new City Hall and Event Center, the riverfront trail system, the Independence Landing development, and more!
  *   Downtown Building Rehabilitation Tour:  Independence has been fortunate to receive 3 OMS grants to renovate downtown buildings.  One project is complete, one in progress, and one just getting started.  We'll tour each building and discuss the project with the owners.  Along the way, you'll get a look at other buildings that have been improved using a City facade improvement grant program!
  *   MI Trolley & Monmouth Tour:  Did you know Independence and Monmouth have a trolley connecting their downtowns?  Hop on our new historic-style rubber wheel trolley to learn how this exciting transit project happened.  At the end of the line you'll take a short walking tour of downtown Monmouth and hear about the work their doing - including an OMS grant-funded building rehabilitation!
  *   Mini Ghost Walk:  Experience an Independence tradition and get a preview of the full event that will be happening Friday and Saturday after the OMS conference!  You'll stroll through downtown Independence with your Ghost Host, learning about the historic - and haunted - stories associated with the buildings.  You'll even get to go into the Masonic Lodge, which is not normally open to the public.  Along the way, you'll hear how this 20+ year old event came to be and learn how it evolved a companion event (history and mystery) in Monmouth!
  *   Urban Renewal Tour:  Many of the projects that helped revitalize downtown Independence were supported by funding from the City's Urban Renewal District.  On this tour, you'll visit many of the projects, including the movie theater, City Hall, Independence Landing, downtown streetscape, and more, learning how the district made them possible, and how they worked individually and collectively to revitalize downtown Independence.
