After two years of negotiation we purchased the historic ball brothers gas station and dealership property in the center of town on July 1. We have multiple remediation grants and loans through Karen’s Brown's field program at business Oregon. As well as a redevelopment grant for planning through Marion County. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I have been hoping to apply for the Oregon Main Street revitalization grant that, if it's annual, will be due in February March this coming year. However, the guidance on last year's application and your email below don't fit together.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Turner has only been in affiliate of the Main Street program. First, I want to be sure whether we can apply for such a major grant as an affiliate. Second, I'm wondering if we moved up in the commitment in the different levels in Main Street if that gets us higher priority points or ranking for funding for this grant application. </p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Sheri.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">David Sawyer, City Administrator</p><p class="MsoNormal">P O Box 456</p><p class="MsoNormal">5255 Chicago Street</p><p class="MsoNormal">Turner, OR 97392</p><p class="MsoNormal">503-743-2155</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:manager@cityofturner.org"><span style="color:#0563c1">manager@cityofturner.org</span></a></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #e1e1e1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> OMS_MANAGERS <<a href="mailto:oms_managers-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us">oms_managers-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>STUART Sheri * OPRD<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 9, 2017 2:09 PM<br><b>To:</b> Oregon Main Street program managers <<a href="mailto:oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us">oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OMS_MANAGERS] Updates from Oregon Main Street</p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Hi David, </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">All levels of the Oregon Main Street Network (Performing Main Street, Transforming Downtown, Exploring Downtown, and Affiliate) will be eligible to apply for the new Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant program.
