The Dalles Main Street program has received a $200,000 Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant from the state to help restore the façade of the three storefronts of the Recreation Building.  Oregon Heritage, a division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, awarded 30 matching grants worth over five million dollars to Oregon Main Street Network organizations across the state for building projects that encourage economic revitalization.  The Dalles Main Street award is at the high end of the grants.  The department funded projects that best conveyed the ability to stimulate private investment and local economic development, and best fit within the community’s long range plan for downtown vitality.
