3) MAIN STREET (from Jason McNeil, Main Street Manager)

1. All-Committee Meeting: On February 28, the three Sandy Main Street committees had their first formal meeting together. Steering Committee Chair George Hoyt led the meeting and gave an account of the work the Steering Committee has been doing to set the foundation for the program and move Sandy Main Street into the future. The Promotion and Economic Restructuring Committees each had an opportunity to report what they’ve been working on and share concerns related to downtown and Main Street projects. Quarterly All-Committee meetings will be held to keep everyone better informed and on the same page.
2. Steering Committee: With the Sandy Main Street mission set, the Steering Committee is hard at work identifying the specific benefits that a functioning Main Street program can offer to business and property owners and the services we can offer. The committee will also be working with the City’s Downtown Parking Advisory Committee to implement solutions to the parking issues identified in the downtown core.
3. Promotion Committee: The weather was a little better for the March First Friday event, and featured 21 participating businesses and live music from Sandy High School students outside of Clackamas County Bank. The committee is determined to have new banners and signage to advertise First Fridays and other Main Street events ready this spring. The next First Friday will be held April 6 from 5-8 p.m.
4. Economic Restructuring Committee: The ERC committee work plan is ambitious for this year and includes working with existing businesses, exploring business opportunities for some key vacant sites in town, and working with the Chamber to offer more business trainings and classes. The 2009 Market Analysis is still being updated, and market materials will be completed once we have a finalized logo.
5. National Main Street Conference: Steering Committee Chair George Hoyt will be attending the Main Street Conference in Baltimore March 31 to the April 4. Hopefully he will pick up lots of great ideas for us here in downtown Sandy!
