Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Small Business Saturday Neighborhood Champion Opens
 Soon - Update from Main Street America
Message-ID: <CO6PR09MB8005B4EA669DF55E6651CBAECD772@CO6PR09MB8005.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Hello, all!
In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday(r) to back small businesses and keep communities thriving. Main Street America has been a proud supporter since the beginning, and we are honored to once again team up with American Express to help rally communities to support their local businesses for the 15th Small Business Saturday on November 30, 2024.
We invite you to apply to be a 2024 Neighborhood Champion* and help us make this year the most impactful yet. Together, let's set new records and make a resounding impact in celebrating and supporting the heart of our communities-our small businesses!
The application opens in early October and will remain open until mid-November, or until all the spaces are filled.
Complimentary merchandise kits will begin shipping to those selected as Neighborhood Champions within the first week of the application opening, so we recommend applying as early as possible to receive your kit with plenty of time to get prepared before Small Business Saturday on November 30th this year. This year, the kits will include new I SHOPPED SMALL stickers for small business owners to share with their customers, thank them for their business, and encourage others to Shop Small(r) on Small Business Saturday.
As in past years, all Main Street America members have been pre-qualified to serve as Neighborhood Champions on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited so apply for your spot before applications close. All you need to do to apply is fill out a brief Neighborhood Champion application and indicate you were referred by the Main Street America network*.
Mark your calendars and check back on our blog for the link and information to apply.
You can read more about the Neighborhood Champion program on the American Express website.<https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/benefits/shop-small/>
Thanks, everyone! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Here's the solicitation IDA used for the 2022 grant.  We had a group of 3 or 4 people score each response to determine the winner.  I can't find the scoresheets unfortunately but it's not hard to figure out 4 or 5 elements (need, importance to the downtown, job creation, readiness to proceed, etc.) that you can allocate a total of 100 points to while weighting the things you care most about.  We were fortunate to have two really good projects out of three total responses.  Knowing there would be another OMS grant round in 2023, we awarded one and said we would apply for the other project the next year without doing a solicitation.  I also attached a copy of the grant agreement that IDA uses if the project is awarded an OMS grant.  I think it's important to spell out that the person doing the project will have to front the money until a reimbursement comes through, which could take some time.

Hi Everyone,

I understand a few of you have developed a "Pre-Application" for vetting out OMSRG projects.  If you are willing to share over the list serve, it would be greatly appreciated.  I am working on one and just want to make sure I have covered all of my bases.

Thank you,

This month we were featured front page, w/ a 2 page spread by our countywide Ruralite. Inside our volunteers talked about some of our subcommittees and great ways to volunteer. This is published by PUD and is a community service. 

The feature brought us new volunteers within a day of the mailing! And it was really fun to do together. 

I?m interested to know if any of you have opportunities like this that you could share with the rest of us? Ways help get the word out in the community about helping and at no cost to the organization.

What a great article and project! Not sure if this qualifies as what you?re looking for Kristine, but in Willamina we just hosted a community visioning workshop in partnership with Rural Development Initiatives (RDI) and it was awesome. We had a great turn out and we will be holding a follow up workshop November 7 to discuss next steps on the ideas that were discussed. I attached the flyer we made for it and the article that the local publication printed about it afterward!

? Have a great day!

Happy Friday!

Wondering if anyone has a suggestion about how to encourage business owners to park in free public parking lots (a block or two away from their business) instead of street parking (directly in front of their business)? We are running into an issue where customers are not finding parking directly in front of the businesses on our main street, so some business owners are concerned about losing quick drop-in customers.

We have thought about creating a flyer along the lines of "Be kind to your customers - leave the street parking for them". We also have a map created for the business owners which highlights all of the free parking lots available. Any thoughts or ideas would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Jamie,

If you're looking for an in-depth look at downtown parking in Woodburn, you could apply for a TGM parking reform and management project that could assist you with a plan.
https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/tgm/pages/parking-reform-and-management.aspx

You might also find the Parking Management Jump Start Guide - due to be published next week - helpful. I'll try to remember to ship a PDF over to you.

Some cities prohibit employees (and owners) from customer parking areas, and join that with providing free employee/owner parking nearby. That means they collect license plate numbers of employer/employees and give warnings/tickets if they're parked in customer spaces.

So, it's really dependent on resources (enforcement etc.) and how many hard conversations you're willing to have with business owners. I find hard conversations to be more productive than flyers.

The other thing you can do to help customers is review your signage and wayfinding to make sure people entering the area know where to easily find parking. Most people are willing to walk a block, two, three or four if they can park easily and have an attractive destination/store they want to go to.

Odd that business owners/employees aren't seeing the benefit to parking away from the front of their building. Makes me think that there might be a barrier/challenge to getting to the free parking lot. Did business owners share why parking that far is a challenge?

Take care,
Chantal

Hi Jamie,
It's great that you're thinking proactively about improving the customer experience while also supporting local businesses.
One way to approach this without alienating business owners is by framing the conversation around mutual benefit. You could highlight that by keeping street parking available for customers, it not only makes it more convenient for them but can also lead to increased business foot traffic and higher sales. Rather than focusing on what business owners should or shouldn't do, try positioning it as a community effort to enhance downtown accessibility for everyone.
A few ideas to consider:

  1.  Educational Campaign: Instead of a flyer that may come across as directive, think about creating an "awareness campaign" that showcases the benefits of parking in free lots. Use language like "Help Our Main Street Thrive - Keep Customer Parking Open!" You can emphasize the potential benefits of customers finding parking easily and spending more time in the shops.
  2.  Positive Incentives: You might create a fun competition or incentive program for business owners who park in designated lots. Perhaps offer a "Local Business of the Month" feature for participants, with recognition on social media or in a local newsletter.
  3.  Business Engagement: Hold a brief workshop or meeting with business owners to discuss this issue together. Often, when business owners are part of the solution-making process, they're more likely to adopt changes willingly. You can present the parking map at the meeting and brainstorm creative solutions with their input.
  4.  Collaborative Messaging: Instead of a flyer, you could also use social media or email newsletters to remind businesses of the free parking options and how they benefit their customers. You could use light-hearted, friendly language like "Let's make it easy for our customers to visit - more parking, more sales!"
By engaging businesses as partners in the solution, you can help foster a positive atmosphere while still addressing the parking issue. Feel free to adapt any of these ideas based on what you think will resonate best with your business community.
Best regards,
David

NORTH BEND, Ore. ? North Bend?s Main Street program proudly unveiled its Four-Point Wayfinder Sign on Friday afternoon at the North Bend Visitor Information Center, 745 California Ave. The vibrant sign serves as a unique guide for locals and visitors, pointing to key downtown destinations while celebrating the rich cultural diversity and artistic talent within the community.

The Four-Point Wayfinder Sign exemplifies the National Main Street?s Four-Point Approach: Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion, and Organization. Each directional arrow represents one of these pillars, connecting visitors to important downtown landmarks and telling the story of North Bend through local art and history.

Sign Posts: Guiding the Way to North Bend?s Best
The Four-Point Wayfinder Sign features four key directional arrows, each pointing to a downtown location that reflects North Bend?s thriving community. Each sign was crafted by a local artist, adding personal and cultural meaning to the project.

  *   Promotion Arrow (Orange): Designed by Margarita Grooms, a minority artist originally from Phoenix, Arizona, the promotion arrow points to Grant Circle, the heart of local events such as parades, festivals, and community gatherings. Grooms, a military veteran and business student at Southwestern Oregon Community College, drew inspiration from her experience in hospitality and community-building. Her design reflects her love for bringing people together and celebrates the vibrant community spirit that thrives in North Bend.
  *   Design Arrow (Green): Created by Blaise Barshaw, a senior artist who is known for his murals and hand-drawn greeting cards, the green arrow guides visitors to the historic Liberty Theatre. Barshaw, who painted the well-known octopus mural at the Walmart entrance, was inspired by the theatre?s role as a cultural hub in downtown revitalization. His design emphasizes the importance of arts in shaping the visual identity of the community and highlights the theatre as a space where the arts and local history come together.
  *   Organization Arrow (Yellow): Crafted by 10-year-old Mikalai Kuliashou, a youth artist from Belarus, the yellow arrow points to the North Bend Public Library, symbolizing community engagement and inclusion. Mikalai, who sold his first painting at the age of 5, is deeply inspired by the role of libraries in providing knowledge and fostering creativity. His design reflects a sense of wonder and curiosity, qualities that the library nurtures in the local community, making it a key part of North Bend?s organizational framework.
  *   Economic Vitality Arrow (Blue): Designed by Veronika Akhramovich, a local female artist, the blue arrow directs visitors to the Downtown Business District, showcasing the economic energy of North Bend. Veronika, who has created art installations across the streets of Coos Bay and North Bend, is passionate about the role of art in social and cultural expression. Her work for the Economic Vitality arrow is inspired by the resilience of local businesses and the economic heartbeat that sustains North Bend?s downtown area. Through her art, she captures the essence of entrepreneurship and community growth.

The Wayfinder Post: A Piece of North Bend?s History
The post supporting the Wayfinder Sign was created from a tree sourced from Simpson Park, a site of historical significance in North Bend. Purchased by Asa M. Simpson in 1855, the park has served many purposes over the years, from a ball field to an auto camp. While some of the park?s trees have suffered decay or storm damage over time, the Main Street program saw an opportunity to repurpose one of the trees marked for removal, transforming it into the post for the Wayfinder Sign. This careful crafting and preservation reflect North Bend?s dedication to honoring its natural history while embracing new possibilities for placemaking and community engagement.

Diversity in the Arts
The Wayfinder Sign is a celebration of diversity, featuring work from artists of various backgrounds. Each arrow was designed by a local artist representing different groups in the community, ensuring that multiple perspectives and stories are shared through the sign. From minority artists to youth and senior creators, the sign reflects North Bend?s commitment to inclusiveness and cultural representation in its public projects.

Sponsors and Supporters
The Wayfinder Sign was made possible thanks to the generous support of Oregon Main Street, AARP, and the City of North Bend. AARP awarded the Main Street program a $3,000 grant to fund the project after North Bend Main Street showcased a mock-up of the project at the Oregon Main Street Conference in 2023. The Main Street program is deeply grateful for the continued support of these organizations in bringing the vision of the Four-Point Wayfinder Sign to life.

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] NEWS: Unveiling of Four-Point Wayfinder Sign Celebrates North Bend?s Downtown Diversity and Culture


NORTH BEND, Ore. ? North Bend?s Main Street program proudly unveiled its Four-Point Wayfinder Sign on Friday afternoon at the North Bend Visitor Information Center, 745 California Ave. The vibrant sign serves as a unique guide for locals and visitors, pointing to key downtown destinations while celebrating the rich cultural diversity and artistic talent within the community.

The Four-Point Wayfinder Sign exemplifies the National Main Street?s Four-Point Approach: Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion, and Organization. Each directional arrow represents one of these pillars, connecting visitors to important downtown landmarks and telling the story of North Bend through local art and history.

Sign Posts: Guiding the Way to North Bend?s Best
The Four-Point Wayfinder Sign features four key directional arrows, each pointing to a downtown location that reflects North Bend?s thriving community. Each sign was crafted by a local artist, adding personal and cultural meaning to the project.

  *   Promotion Arrow (Orange): Designed by Margarita Grooms, a minority artist originally from Phoenix, Arizona, the promotion arrow points to Grant Circle, the heart of local events such as parades, festivals, and community gatherings. Grooms, a military veteran and business student at Southwestern Oregon Community College, drew inspiration from her experience in hospitality and community-building. Her design reflects her love for bringing people together and celebrates the vibrant community spirit that thrives in North Bend.

HI Sheri,
   Will the October 23rd meeting be recorded? I really want the
information, but I am already booked that morning. Also, I have had a grant
workshop series that I've been attending on Thursdays but the 17th is
the last one, so I will be in regular attendance after that (with
the possible exception of our 2nd Thursday of the month board/committee
meeting day).

Thank you!

Helen Connolly

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] NEWS: Unveiling of Four-Point Wayfinder Sign Celebrates North Bend?s Downtown Diversity and Culture


NORTH BEND, Ore. ? North Bend?s Main Street program proudly unveiled its Four-Point Wayfinder Sign on Friday afternoon at the North Bend Visitor Information Center, 745 California Ave. The vibrant sign serves as a unique guide for locals and visitors, pointing to key downtown destinations while celebrating the rich cultural diversity and artistic talent within the community.

The Four-Point Wayfinder Sign exemplifies the National Main Street?s Four-Point Approach: Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion, and Organization. Each directional arrow represents one of these pillars, connecting visitors to important downtown landmarks and telling the story of North Bend through local art and history.

Sign Posts: Guiding the Way to North Bend?s Best
The Four-Point Wayfinder Sign features four key directional arrows, each pointing to a downtown location that reflects North Bend?s thriving community. Each sign was crafted by a local artist, adding personal and cultural meaning to the project.

  *   Promotion Arrow (Orange): Designed by Margarita Grooms, a minority artist originally from Phoenix, Arizona, the promotion arrow points to Grant Circle, the heart of local events such as parades, festivals, and community gatherings. Grooms, a military veteran and business student at Southwestern Oregon Community College, drew inspiration from her experience in hospitality and community-building. Her design reflects her love for bringing people together and celebrates the vibrant community spirit that thrives in North Bend.
  *   Design Arrow (Green): Created by Blaise Barshaw, a senior artist who is known for his murals and hand-drawn greeting cards, the green arrow guides visitors to the historic Liberty Theatre. Barshaw, who painted the well-known octopus mural at the Walmart entrance, was inspired by the theatre?s role as a cultural hub in downtown revitalization. His design emphasizes the importance of arts in shaping the visual identity of the community and highlights the theatre as a space where the arts and local history come together.
  *   Organization Arrow (Yellow): Crafted by 10-year-old Mikalai Kuliashou, a youth artist from Belarus, the yellow arrow points to the North Bend Public Library, symbolizing community engagement and inclusion. Mikalai, who sold his first painting at the age of 5, is deeply inspired by the role of libraries in providing knowledge and fostering creativity. His design reflects a sense of wonder and curiosity, qualities that the library nurtures in the local community, making it a key part of North Bend?s organizational framework.
  *   Economic Vitality Arrow (Blue): Designed by Veronika Akhramovich, a local female artist, the blue arrow directs visitors to the Downtown Business District, showcasing the economic energy of North Bend. Veronika, who has created art installations across the streets of Coos Bay and North Bend, is passionate about the role of art in social and cultural expression. Her work for the Economic Vitality arrow is inspired by the resilience of local businesses and the economic heartbeat that sustains North Bend?s downtown area. Through her art, she captures the essence of entrepreneurship and community growth.

The Wayfinder Post: A Piece of North Bend?s History
The post supporting the Wayfinder Sign was created from a tree sourced from Simpson Park, a site of historical significance in North Bend. Purchased by Asa M. Simpson in 1855, the park has served many purposes over the years, from a ball field to an auto camp. While some of the park?s trees have suffered decay or storm damage over time, the Main Street program saw an opportunity to repurpose one of the trees marked for removal, transforming it into the post for the Wayfinder Sign. This careful crafting and preservation reflect North Bend?s dedication to honoring its natural history while embracing new possibilities for placemaking and community engagement.

Diversity in the Arts
The Wayfinder Sign is a celebration of diversity, featuring work from artists of various backgrounds. Each arrow was designed by a local artist representing different groups in the community, ensuring that multiple perspectives and stories are shared through the sign. From minority artists to youth and senior creators, the sign reflects North Bend?s commitment to inclusiveness and cultural representation in its public projects.

Sponsors and Supporters
The Wayfinder Sign was made possible thanks to the generous support of Oregon Main Street, AARP, and the City of North Bend. AARP awarded the Main Street program a $3,000 grant to fund the project after North Bend Main Street showcased a mock-up of the project at the Oregon Main Street Conference in 2023. The Main Street program is deeply grateful for the continued support of these organizations in bringing the vision of the Four-Point Wayfinder Sign to life.

Hi Jamie,
   I have observed this same phenomenon here in Oakridge.  It may be that
the business owner simply doesn't realize how that prime spot is viewed by
others.  Maybe they are carrying an armload of items on the way in the
door, then get busy and forget to move the vehicle?  I think it's worth
having a conversation with owners, employees, and managers to hear their
point of view.
    In another part of Oakridge, along highway 58 I own property where we
operated a cafe and when business was slow, we would park our vehicles as a
'decoy car.'  The thought being that if no one was there the place was
either closed or no one liked it. Looking forward to hearing from others...

Hi All,

I had asked a question long ago whose cities are financially
supporting/budgeting for their Main Street Program.  Someone had sent me a
report with a list of cities and what % of their budget was from TLT, GF
etc. I can't find it anywhere. Anyone?

I am not sure, but I know Sheri collects salary and benefit data on exec directors. That may have been distributed and the data you are looking for. That said, the results widely vary and I am not sure that you can make a strong case one way or another. In my case, when I was the manager in Bandon, the City contributed $3750 annually
 When I moved to the Coos Bay job, it is $70000 annually. Big City, bigger budget!

This may be what you?re looking for. This Spring I took the data OMS
collects and interpreted it into a chart format.

With that said, BCD was just awarded a one year contract for $80k beginning
November 1 of this year. I credit this data for part of the reason we were
able to make such a good argument.

The Salary Survey is the best that Sheri and Cam put together but it needs
to be updated for 2024. I know our position in Medford has changed. We just
received an Agreement and $125,000 from our city. We did several study
sessions with the city and we did a full comparison survey to what other
Main Streets are receiving. We also shared the financial pillars of how
Main Streets are financially stable. Happy to visit with you Donna.

Attached is what we shared with the Council and City Staff. Please know we
are also looking at an Economic Improvement District (EID) so that was our
main push in the attached presentation.

I love seeing this again.

Slide 5 includes populations. It must not include Albany as an example as our population is 57,000.

This is such a good reminder to all of us to make sure when the
budget/salary survey comes out from OMS to take time and fill it out. If
Sheri could use SurveyMonkey the report would be done for her and we could
all use it.

Lise, the slides are using averages, not ranges. The data sheet I sent you
shows the math used to generate the charts and graphs. Albany is
represented in the data.

Happy Halloween to all - hope those who hold downtown events have a terrific day! Just a few reminders:


  1.  MoM - next week Cam and I will be in an all-day Heritage division meeting so we won't have the MoM call (unless we hear from someone that you are willing to host then we can start the meeting and assign the host duties).



  1.  Small Business Survey: Please distribute info on Main Street America's Small Business Survey - see info at the end of this email. They need 300 more responses by November 7.



  1.  FREE: Fall CLG workshop 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.



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!



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.
