It has been turned into a public market with the help of urban renewal funds and houses 16-20 small businesses. Rents run around 200-300 per month and there has been no shortage of people wanting to start a small business. Contact me for further information if you are interested.<br>Suzanne Weber, Mayor of the City of Tillamook<br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Charlie Mitchell" <cmitchell@cityoflagrande.org><br>To: "Oregon Main Street program managers" <oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us><br>Sent: Tuesday, April 5, 2011 3:33:43 PM<br>Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] downtown retail incubators<br><br><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
