<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Keynote Update</b>: Due to unforeseen circumstances, our keynote speaker, Mary Means, will be unable to join us. Jon Stover, with JS&A an Economic Development Consulting firm specializing in place-based economic development, will now
kick-off our conference. JS&A has worked with Main Street America™ as well as local Main Streets and Coordinating Programs across the country in quantifying the impacts and value Main Streets bring to the economy and community. In this special presentation
Jon will share the results of the recently complete Oregon Main Street Impact Analysis. The report highlights the success of the Oregon Main Street network through qualitative stories of how the network preserves, sustains, and enhances communities and the
quantitative impacts this success has brought to the state’s economy. In doing so, this report serves as a tool for both Oregon Main Street, local programs, and state partners to better communicate the many ways in which Main Streets generate value and play
a pivotal role in your communities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Just added</b>: The conference will also feature the Oregon Main Street “Open Door” Pitch Contest: Our Oregon Main Street Network organizations help create inclusive and welcoming environments that make all feel that they belong and
are invited into the community. We want to encourage and support these efforts! Do you have a project or idea on your work plan to make your downtown or organization more welcoming that you just haven’t been able to move forward due to a lack of funding resources?
Here’s your opportunity to receive a <b><span style="color:#32AFB1">$5,000 grant</span></b><span style="color:#32AFB1">

One of the programs, the National Trust Preservation Funds (NTPF) are intended
to encourage preservation at the local level by supporting on-going preservation work and by providing seed money for preservation projects. These grants help stimulate public discussion, enable local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for preservation
projects, introduce the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourage financial participation by the private sector. A small grant at the right time can go a long way and is often the catalyst that inspires a community to take action on a preservation
project. Grants generally start at $2,500 and range up to $5,000. There are three deadlines per year in February, June, and October.

</b>One of their<b> </b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">primary funding areas is historic preservation, specifically architectural preservation — the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of historic buildings, structures and related sites.
Most of the projects they fund involve buildings that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as a contributing resource in an historic district. They will consider grants for historic preservation activities other than
architectural preservation as a secondary interest. Historic Preservation grants are budgeted for approximately 40% of their total grants. Applications for Historic Preservation grants over $5,000 must be submitted by August 1st of each year to qualify. These
grants are decided in September and are scheduled for distribution in November. Inquiries for grants of less than $5,000 are processed throughout the year, and there is no application deadline. Small grant applications will generally require 6-8 weeks to review.
