Main Street Program looks
to form Subcommittees
Four Important Subcommittees
Currently, members of The Dalles Main Street Program Steering Committee are seeking to recruit volunteers to implement the Main Street Program Four Point Approach - organization, promotion, design, and business development.
Each Main Street subcommittee will focus on a different set of issues facing the downtown business district. Each subcommittee plays a vital role in the implementation and ongoing success of the Oregon Main Street Program.
With the hard work of dedicated volunteers, The Dalles Main Street Program can help support downtown business during both good and bad economic times.
For more information contact Thomas Gilbertson, RARE Planner, City of The Dalles: 541.296.5481 x1132 or via email: tgilbertson@ci.the-dalles.or.us
