USDA Has More Than $400 Million Still Available Nationwide for Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Loan Guarantees
Funding is available through September 30, 2019

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development is seeking applications for loan guarantees to support renewable energy and energy efficiency improvement projects. More than $400 million is still available nationwide.

Eligible agricultural producers and rural small businesses may apply for funding through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTkwNzI5Ljg1NzEyNjEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTkwNzI5Ljg1NzEyNjEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNzEyNjQwMiZlbWFpbGlkPXNoZXJpLnN0dWFydEBvcmVnb24uZ292JnVzZXJpZD1zaGVyaS5zdHVhcnRAb3JlZ29uLmdvdiZ0YXJnZXRpZD0mZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/rural-energy-america-program-renewable-energy-systems-energy-efficiency/or> to install renewable energy systems or make energy efficiency improvements to their operations. Loan guarantees of up to 85 percent of the project costs are available for projects ranging from $5,000 to $25 million.

Eligible renewable energy systems include those that produce energy from wind, solar, renewable biomass (including anaerobic digesters), ocean, geothermal, and small hydroelectric sources, as well as hydrogen derived from renewable sources.

Applications for loan guarantees are accepted year-round. More than $400 million is available through September 30, 2019.

To discuss a potential project, contact John Holman<mailto:john.holman at usda.gov>, Energy Coordinator, (503) 414-3369.

Hi Sheri,

Carolyn Johnson here with the City of Coos Bay. I'm learning much about Main street with inclusion on your list-serve, thank you!

Some background and my question - the City's fa?ade improvement program has had mixed success. The Coos Bay City Council has a FY 2019/2020 priority to "Consider possible changes to the URA fa?ade grant program; including changes to program rules, process and focus, in an effort to further incentivize redevelopment within the districts."  Could you advise with some referrals to Oregon municipalities with successful fa?ade improvement programs?  Or direct me to any index or other resources that provide an overview of fa?ade improvement programs in Oregon cities?

Thanks so much,
Carolyn

Hello, everyone.

We're considering a Business Plan competition here in La Grande, where the
winner(s) would get to temporarily set up shop in one of our vacant store
fronts. Our goal is to fill a vacancy temporarily while the building owner
courts long-term tenants, encourage a new business by lowering the
barrier-to-entry for a brick and mortar store, and in general see what
kinds of potential new businesses are simmering just under the surface so
we can help them come to fruition.

Have any of your communities had such a contest before? And if so, how were
they structured and promoted?

Thanks so much,
Taylor Scroggins, Executive Director
La Grande Main Street Downtown

Hi Carolyn --

Here's a link to the City of Sandy Facade Improvement Program
<https://www.ci.sandy.or.us/facade-improvement-grants/>.  We have literally
transformed Sandy over the past decade with our building design standards
(the "Sandy Style" - Cascadian architecture elements adopted in 2008) and
this program.

Happy to chat with you about our program anytime you'd like.  :)

Hello, everyone.

We're considering a Business Plan competition here in La Grande, where the
winner(s) would get to temporarily set up shop in one of our vacant store fronts. Our goal is to fill a vacancy temporarily while the building owner courts long-term tenants, encourage a new business by lowering the barrier-to-entry for a brick and mortar store, and in general see what kinds of potential new businesses are simmering just under the surface so we can help them come to fruition.

Have any of your communities had such a contest before? And if so, how were they structured and promoted?

Thanks so much,

Hi Carolyn --

Here's a link to the City of Sandy Facade Improvement Program <https://www.ci.sandy.or.us/facade-improvement-grants/>.  We have literally transformed Sandy over the past decade with our building design standards (the "Sandy Style" - Cascadian architecture elements adopted in 2008) and this program.

Happy to chat with you about our program anytime you'd like.  :)

St Helens Economic Development Corporation sponsored a business plan competition different from the one you describe.

 

In ours the local credit unions went together on $20,000 and gave it to the Mainstreet organization which went into a special account for a 0-interest loan  (see more detail below).    SHEDCO raised an additional  $5000.00 for a $5000 grant.

 

SHEDCO then sponsored a business plan completion that took place as follows:

*         We announced that we were offering a $25,000 business plan competition with a $5000 grant and 20,000 no-interest loan.

*         All those interested were required to take a business plan writing class offered by SHEDCO.  We found a person that volunteered to teach a 6 to 9 week  business plan writing class.

*         Only those that finished the class qualified to submit a business plan for a new business.  

 

** One of the criteria was that the new business had to open along the Mainstreet.

 

*         After the class finished those that wanted to enter in the competition submitted their business plans.

*         The business plans were judged by a panel of bankers from the credit unions that initially put up the $20,000.  The bankers narrowed down the applications to a final group of three.

*         The final three were required to make a final  ?public? presentation at  a final event organized by SHEDCO.   At the event the presenters could present a revised and updated business plan if the so desired (based on their initial conversations with the bankers) and were required to make 15 minute presentations to the public and the panel of bankers and others (one SHEDCO board member, another business person and the three bankers). 

*         The panel chose the winner at the end of the presentation event.  

 

The $20,000 put up by the banks went into a special money market account held by SHEDCO.  The interest from the CD would go to SHEDCO but the funds would be held in the ?locked? account as collateral for the 0-interest loan.  

 

The winner received a $5000.00 grant from SHEDCO and a $20,000 no-interest loan payable over three years.  One of the banks wrote the loan, SHEDCO signed as a co-signer on the loan with the $20,000 as collateral.

 

We did this for the first time 4  years ago.  After the initial $20,000 got paid off the first time we did it again this year.   So it is basically a revolving fund ( collateral ) for the 0-interest loan.  This year we had to raise the $5000.00 for the grant again but that was relatively easy since the program was successful the first time.

 

If you need more information let me know.

Thanks so much, Al!

That's very informative, and hits a lot of the buttons I'm hoping to push.
We're only just starting to plan this competition, but that gives us a lot
to start off with. I think with some tweaks we could use some similar
dynamics for our program.

Thanks again!

Hi Carolyn,

City of Tigard has a matching grant program for fa?ade and tenant improvements. 27 projects have been completed and the program has leveraged approximately $3 in private investment for every $1 in grant funding. More info can be found at the link below and I would be happy to talk in more detail about the program if you have questions.

Pendleton has a fa?ade restoration program.  We've completed a bit over 40 projects since the program begin in 2005. Storefront occupancy has risen from the low 70% to the low 90% range.  Would be glad to talk with you or email info.

Hi Sheri,

Carolyn Johnson here with the City of Coos Bay. I'm learning much about Main street with inclusion on your list-serve, thank you!

Some background and my question - the City's fa?ade improvement program has had mixed success. The Coos Bay City Council has a FY 2019/2020 priority to "Consider possible changes to the URA fa?ade grant program; including changes to program rules, process and focus, in an effort to further incentivize redevelopment within the districts."  Could you advise with some referrals to Oregon municipalities with successful fa?ade improvement programs?  Or direct me to any index or other resources that provide an overview of fa?ade improvement programs in Oregon cities?

Thanks so much,
Carolyn

Hello, everyone.

We're considering a Business Plan competition here in La Grande, where the
winner(s) would get to temporarily set up shop in one of our vacant store fronts. Our goal is to fill a vacancy temporarily while the building owner courts long-term tenants, encourage a new business by lowering the barrier-to-entry for a brick and mortar store, and in general see what kinds of potential new businesses are simmering just under the surface so we can help them come to fruition.

Hello everyone,  Klamath Falls offered a Business Plan competition a couple of years ago.  We modeled it after a great program in Coos Bay.    It involved approximately $6,000 in donated cash, (including a county economic development grant) and approximately $4,000 in donated marketing, advertising, and banking services.  I would be happy to share it with you if you would like.

Hello!

We are looking for information on how other communities operate a flower basket program. Do you water the plants with volunteers, through the city, or hire an independent contractor?

Sincerely,

Ours is an extremely collaborative process:

The EID and Chamber share the cost of the pole purchase and maintenance.

The City, EID, and Chamber share the cost of the baskets.  We purchase them from a vendor who specializes in commercial baskets.

The City coordinates with the vendor to get the baskets up then makes certain that the watering infrastructure is in place and works.

Most of the baskets are connected to the water system of the closest business and those businesses pay for the water usage (we check with the businesses each year to confirm they want to continue to have baskets).  There are a few baskets that are in very visible locations without businesses close, so the City pays for the water to those baskets.

At the end of the season the City coordinates with the vendor to have the baskets removed and makes certain the watering infrastructure is weatherized and ready for winter.

Hi, Wesley. We have an independent contractor that procures, installs, and waters our flower baskets and ground pot flowers. Largest cost is watering ? those suckers are thirsty!

Hi Wesley --

We have a local business put together our baskets for us and install/remove
them.  We have a revolving contract with a local non-profit to water the
plants *daily* throughout the season.

And we have a lovely flower basket program, as you can see...  [the secret
is to water the baskets EVERY DAY, whether it rains or not]

We partner with the City of Independence for ours ? we supply the baskets and they water them.  We?re lucky to have drip irrigation on our light poles which saves a huge amount of time and labor.

Pendleton has a fa?ade restoration program.  We've completed a bit over 40 projects since the program begin in 2005. Storefront occupancy has risen from the low 70% to the low 90% range.  Would be glad to talk with you or email info.

Hi Sheri,

Carolyn Johnson here with the City of Coos Bay. I'm learning much about Main street with inclusion on your list-serve, thank you!

Some background and my question - the City's fa?ade improvement program has had mixed success. The Coos Bay City Council has a FY 2019/2020 priority to "Consider possible changes to the URA fa?ade grant program; including changes to program rules, process and focus, in an effort to further incentivize redevelopment within the districts."  Could you advise with some referrals to Oregon municipalities with successful fa?ade improvement programs?  Or direct me to any index or other resources that provide an overview of fa?ade improvement programs in Oregon cities?

Thanks so much,
Carolyn

Hello, everyone.

We're considering a Business Plan competition here in La Grande, where the
winner(s) would get to temporarily set up shop in one of our vacant store fronts. Our goal is to fill a vacancy temporarily while the building owner courts long-term tenants, encourage a new business by lowering the barrier-to-entry for a brick and mortar store, and in general see what kinds of potential new businesses are simmering just under the surface so we can help them come to fruition.

Have any of your communities had such a contest before? And if so, how were they structured and promoted?

Thanks so much,

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Awesome walking tours scheduled for OMS Conference -
 conference registration now open
Message-ID: <96998CF4EA3EE743A0E9808C59B3C1EC01EA534CEE@WPORGEXCL08.ENTSS.OR.GOV>

Hi all,

We are getting really excited about our upcoming Oregon Main Street Conference, October 2-4! The Tillamook Chamber of Commerce & Main Street Program are hard at work getting ready for us. They have 3 terrific walking tours lined up as part of the conference schedule:


?         Women in Business is sponsored in partnership with the Small Business Development Center. The tour will loop through downtown with stops at several businesses where women owners will talk about their experience and growth as entrepreneurs, and how their networking with one another continues to grow and improve their individual businesses. Each one of the women we will visit with has had a unique path to where they are now, and each has a different vision of where they are going. Arlene Soto from SBDC will be on hand to talk about some of the programs that the SBDC offers specifically designed for female entrepreneurs, and how to access them in your community.


?         Downtown Tillamook Traffic Improvement Project will highlight a radical reconfiguration of the downtown streetscape and show how the process led to the growth of the district and created an opportunity to spin the project in to a way that allowed for the promotion of the downtown district weekly for two solid years. The project included the closure of a street block for a pedestrian plaza, the beginning of the under-grounding of utilities in downtown, a reduction in the quantity of parking but an improvement in the quality and safety of the parking, a new four lane bridge that replaced a undersized two lane bridge, a walking trail that makes up the first completed stretch of the massive Salmonberry Trail Project, the addition of bioswales and rebuilding of an inadequate stormwater system, and a unification of the downtown businesses in a way that had never happened before. The project had numerous unanticipated complications, and this is a tour of advocacy, survival, and growth.


?         Urban Renewal Loop highlight  the broad range of experiments that have been attempted by the ?TURA? (Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency), tracing back to the early days and the adoption of the plan to the decision to redraw the district, and take us through projects public and private in a range of arenas- from the repair of lateral lines to pedestrian connectivity to business incubation space, TURA has been an ever-evolving experiment that is in the midst of yet another transitional period, and we will have speakers on the tour to share the entire story.

I had a call about signing up for the tours. In case others have this question, the cost of tours are included in the full conference registration. Sign-up for tours is on-site at the conference, first come first served. We have found this method of tour registration works best.

Hi all - see below of the notice of a grant opportunity that might be of interest. This might be a good opportunity to partner with your local heritage organizations on activities to interpret local history or educational activities.

Katie convened our Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards committee this week. We had an amazing group of nominations. It made me so proud to see how far our Network has come in just a few short years. We especially had stellar nominations in the Partnership category - all partnerships with local government. It was awesome to see the deep and meaningful ways cities are supporting the local main street organizations and downtown revitalization efforts. We hope you attend the Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards ceremony which kicks-off our Oregon Main Street Conference in Tillamook - you will be inspired! The awards are on Wednesday, Oct 2, and the conference runs through Friday, Oct 4. Information and links to registration can be found on our website at www.oregonmainstreet.org<http://www.oregonmainstreet.org>.

Also, I wanted to let you know that I will be on vacation through Friday, August 23. I am going to try something new and NOT check my email while I am out. :) If you need assistance in the meantime, please contact Katie Henry at katie.henry at oregon.gov<mailto:katie.henry at oregon.gov> or 503.986.0671.

Cheers, Sheri

Glad to hear you guys are moving forward! I sure miss that town! 

Anyway, here?s a package Sheri shared with the DMA (Medford) folks when we met with them. Also, they probably have most recently answered many of the questions you have, and would be a great resource for getting the funding component off the ground. I?ll directly send you a copy of the budget I work from if that would be helpful. I don?t think it?s any better or worse than anyone else is using, but it would be an example. ?

 

Cheers!

Hi All,

I just wanted to take a moment to highlight the Oregon Main Street Pre-Conference Workshop: Main Street Bootcamp on Oct. 2, 10am-1pm. We are pretty excited to have Kathy LaPlante from the National Main Street Center and Breanne Durham, State Coordinator for Washington State Main Street, come out and give folks an overview of the Four Point Approach(tm) and how it's implemented in communities.

This would be a perfect workshop for those that want to step up their downtown revitalization efforts such as the Exploring Downtown tier and the Associate level of the Oregon Main Street Track, new board members that need an understanding of the structure of Main Street efforts or seasoned board members that would like a refresher, and awesome volunteers that you are grooming to be awesome future board members.

Check out the description below for more information. This workshop is NOT included with the full-conference registration, you need to register separately for it. The conference website is here<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/SHPO/Pages/2019-OMS-Conference.aspx> and to register for conference events visit here<https://oregon-main-street.ticketleap.com/conference/dates/Oct-02-2019_at_0200PM>.

Pre-Conference Workshop, Oct. 2, 10am-1pm: Main Street Bootcamp
As a comprehensive economic development tool, the Main Street Four-Point Approach is the foundation for local communities to revitalize their historic downtowns and commercial districts by leveraging their local assets - from cultural and architectural heritage to local entrepreneurs and community pride. The four points of Main Street work together to build a sustainable and complete community revitalization effort. Spend the morning with a national expert and gain in-depth understanding of the program. You will leave energized and ready to revitalize YOUR Main Street! (snacks provided and participants are welcome to bring a bag lunch). Kathy LaPlante, National Main Street Center & Breanne Durham, State Coordinator, Washington State Main Street Program

If you have any questions about the conference, feel free to contact Sheri or myself.

Best,

Katie

What you should check on as well is the rules for a charitable gaming license (raffle, bingo, Monte Carlo) through the Department of Justice - from their website (http://www.doj.state.or.us/charigroup/gaming_oregon.shtml:

Charitable Gaming in Oregon
Introduction
Regulation of nonprofit gaming is the responsibility of the Oregon Department of Justice. The laws and regulations afford bona fide, nonprofit, tax exempt organizations the opportunity to utilize bingo, raffle, and Monte Carlo event gaming as a means of raising funds for their charitable programs.

The following information is intended to provide a general introduction to those organizations considering nonprofit gaming as a fund raising activity.

The Department has experienced staff who can answer specific questions you may have concerning charitable gaming. For more information, contact the Charitable Activities Section at our Portland office, located at 1515 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 410, Portland, Oregon 97201, telephone (971) 673-1880, or e-mail charitable.activities at state.or.us<mailto:charitable.activities at state.or.us>.
Also from their website Q&A: Do all bingo, raffle, and Monte Carlo event gaming operations require licenses?
Generally, all nonprofit organizations wishing to operate bingo, raffle and Monte Carlo events are required to have licenses issued by the Oregon Department of Justice. Following are the only three exceptions:

  1.  Nonprofit organizations operating bingo games with a handle of no more than $2,000 per session and with a total handle of no more than $5,000 per calendar year.
  2.  Nonprofit organizations holding raffles with a cumulative handle of no more than $10,000 per calendar year.
  3.  Nonprofit organizations holding Monte Carlo events with a handle of no more than $2,000 per Monte Carlo event and a total handle of no more than $5,000 per calendar year.

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department awarded $665,000 for historic theater grants

[https://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/PublishingImages/OPRDshield_transparent.gif]

Aug. 28, 2019
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), which includes the Oregon Main Street Network and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), was awarded $665,000 in federal grant funding to implement a grant program for the preservation of historic theaters. The grant was one of nine awarded nationally through the National Park Service Historic Revitalization Subgrant Program.

The grant will support the Oregon Historic Theaters Subgrant Program to offer grants for the preservation of historic theaters in communities with a population below 30,000. The theaters must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places or meet the criteria for listing.

"We're thrilled to bring these dollars to Oregon to support rural historic theaters," said Chrissy Curran, Deputy State Historic Preservation. "They are critical economic drivers and cultural resources for communities."

OPRD will partner with Restore Oregon, a statewide nonprofit, to ensure that historic theaters throughout the state are aware of the grants and to support them through the application process. OPRD will develop the program through the fall and the grant application opening will be announced this winter.

The program focus on theaters was born from several years of collaboration around the state. Pacific Power and Oregon Main Street implemented an outreach program called the "Power of Main Street" to discuss downtown revitalization efforts, downtown needs, and priority projects especially related to energy efficiency.

One of the common threads of these discussions was the importance of historic downtown theaters, and issues ranging from major restoration costs to the challenges of ongoing operations and facility maintenance. The University of Oregon Institute for Policy Research and Engagement was brought in to conduct a study and report the value and needs of historic theaters, with funding from Travel Oregon and others.

The study process brought together organizations around the state including Restore Oregon, Business Oregon, Oregon Film, Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Cultural Trust, and the SHPO to find solutions to assist historic theaters. Restore Oregon was funded in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust to move the statewide effort forward.

To learn more about the grant, contact Kuri Gill at Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov or 503-986-0685.
