<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Katie convened our Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards committee this week. We had an amazing group of nominations. It made me so proud to see how far our Network has come in just a few short years.
We especially had stellar nominations in the Partnership category – all partnerships with local government. It was awesome to see the deep and meaningful ways cities are supporting the local main street organizations and downtown revitalization efforts. We
hope you attend the Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards ceremony which kicks-off our Oregon Main Street Conference in Tillamook – you will be inspired! The awards are on Wednesday, Oct 2, and the conference runs through Friday, Oct 4. Information
