It is sooooo cool! Those of you who have received grants have brought a serious amount of money into your communities and achieved great results. Talk about economic stimulus! You should tell people, your member, city leadership, partner organizations, and funders. Consider the total impact over the life of the program, not just a single grant. The results add up quick. For example, St. Helens Main Street Alliance has brough $900,000 into the community and City of Reedsport has received funding for work on 16 properties!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Way to go!
