<p class="MsoNormal">Congratulations to Oregon City and The Dalles – they are both in the top 10 communities selected to move to the next step in the Small Business Revolution competition. Each of the towns will have a site visit and then the top 5 will be
announced in January. National voting happens at that time so stay tuned and see if one of our towns move to the next level!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Deluxe Corporation created the original series Small Business Revolution to help small businesses, and in turn, small towns, reignite the spark that drives them and keeps people coming back. Each season, they search for one lucky town –
and six of its small businesses – to win a $500,000 boost from Deluxe, and document the transformations in an original series. Season 1 featured Wabash, Indiana; Season 2 – Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania; Season 3 – Alton, Illinois; and Season 4 – Searcy, Arkansas.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Previous Oregon Main Street Network communities that competed for the coveted slot were Florence and Silverton.<o:p></o:p></p>
