<b>Fall CLG workshop</b> is next week, Wednesday, November 6, 8:15 am – 3:30 pm, The Majestic Event Center, 976 Main Street, Dallas. The Certified Local Government (CLG) program is a National Park Service (NPS) preservation program supported by the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO), to do historic preservation work at the local level. Local governments establish a preservation program with a commission or board to lead the work. SHPO hosts an annual fall workshop for the CLGs.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph">The workshop is for staff and board/commission members of CLGs. And this year, we are inviting Oregon Main Street Network organizations to join us as the content is a perfect fit for you as well!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph">John Sandor, one of the Federal Historic Tax Credit reviewers from the National Park Service will be joining us to talk about standards, alternative materials, windows, storefronts and tax credits. Plus, we will have some excellent
CLG sharing and example projects. And a highlight for the day will be a walking tour of the newly designated historic downtown.
