[OMS_MANAGERS] Nominations Now Open for 2017 Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

Oregon Main Street, part of Oregon Heritage, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, invites you to submit nominations for outstanding achievements in comprehensive downtown revitalization efforts (see attached). The awards will be presented at a special Awards Banquet and Celebration on October 4th during the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Conference in Oregon City. The award nominations are an opportunity for you to honor the people, the projects, and the activities that are outstanding achievements in your community. This might be your community - but only if you get your nominations in by the deadline - July 20, 2017.
ELIGIBILITY

*        Projects or activities receiving awards in previous years are not eligible unless there have been substantial changes or additions made during the nomination timeframe.
*        For purposes of this award, "downtown" is defined as the traditional, compact, pedestrian-oriented central commercial district of a community. Historic commercial neighborhood districts are also eligible to apply if part of the Oregon Main Street Network.
