Revitalize Downtown Stayton (RDS) is an Oregon Main Street (OMS) Affiliate Member. OMS, part of the Oregon heritage in Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, is designed to assist with the revitalization of traditional downtown and historic commercial district, promote economic development and encourage historic preservations. RDS wrote its 2022 Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant to save the Hobson-Gehlen Building, ca. 1885. This building is the oldest wooden commercial structure in Marion County, Oregon. The $200,000 grant was awarded to RDS and the building renovation was completed in 2024. The grant period is from 2022 to 2025 and its focus is on making the building safe with steel moment frames and finishing all of the exterior including: siding, trim, windows, doors, paint and a new roof. With the owners match, over $300,000 will be spent and put into the economy. While currently the number of people benefiting is under 50, when completed with a commercial space and three bedroom apartment in the back, it will benefit the over 25,000 person market of Stayton and the surrounding area. Grant writing is a part of the Economic Vitality Groups focus, one of the four tiers of OMS organizations. The Economic Vitality Group works to provide tools to the merchants in our focus area from working to locate and complete grants to arranging trainings on business topics. We look for input from merchants to improve the effectiveness of both existing and startup companies. Economic Vitality also wrote a grant for a local business to update it's exterior with paint, a new awning and exterior lighting. This Pacific Power grant was awarded to RDS and spent on Mick and Moms Pub and Eatery, also with a benefit to our 25,000 market. RDS was also recipient of Community improvement grant from the city of stayton where funding was used to install public bike racks and dog waste stations. 83092 83481 92863 AARON FRICHTL President 8.75 0 JULIE BOCHSLER Treasurer 13.00 0 CHRISTIAN SMITHRUD BOARD MEMBER 2.50 0 JON MESA BOARD MEMBER 12.50 0 PAUL TOEWS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 JENNIFER SCILIANO BOARD LAISON 2.50 0 GREG PEEVY Vice President 13.50 0 ADAM CULBERTSON BOARD MEMEBER 8.75 0 JENN CLEVENGER BOARD MEMBER 5.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false OR REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN STAYTON PO BOX 696 STAYTON OR 97383 5037672317 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 112142 50650 17005 141423 88072 409292 0 0 112142 50650 17005 141423 88072 409292 502 408790 3 3 0 0 409295 56523 0.99880 0.98840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Farmers Market 7588 7588 473 Golf Tournament 5401 5401 3600 12989 12989 4073 4073 8916 Other Revenue.1 Internal Revenue Serv.
