<p class="MsoNormal">We will be wrapping up the Oregon Main Street Conference, Oct. 4-6, in Oregon City, with an interactive session to
<b><u>Trouble Shoot Issues on Main Street</u></b>. The idea is to help a community address an issue in their downtown. In 5-minutes or less, towns will present their issue to a panel of experts and then the experts will brainstorm solutions. Our awesome facilitator
is Michele Reeves from Civilis Consulting – you might know her as a presenter at several of our previous conferences. We have some ideas submitted from a few communities already, but we still have room for a few more. You can respond over the listserv or email
me directly at: <a href="mailto:sheri.stuart@oregon.gov">sheri.stuart@oregon.gov</a>
