<div dir="ltr"><div>In La Grande, we install our tree at Max Square, where there is a rainwater drainage grate that can be removed, and the tree trunk lowered in. It's not a perfect fit, so OTEC helps us secure it by cables to several nearby hard points, but we're hoping next year to have a specially made base that will sit in there and prop up the tree securely from the underground base.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4">Taylor Scroggins, Executive Director<br></font>La Grande Main Street Downtown<br>102 Depot St<br>Office 541-963-1223<br>Cell 541-975-4591</div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Nov 23, 2020 at 3:37 PM Business Outreach & Community Coordinator <<a href="mailto:coordinator.goldbeachmainstreet@gmail.com">coordinator.goldbeachmainstreet@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Good afternoon everyone,<div><br></div><div>Our local fairgrounds is hoping to install a large community tree this year.
