Barr says the national accreditation indicates the local organization is functioning well and making progress.
Falls City Main Street officials are waiting to hear if they’ll receive a planning grant from the Department of Economic Development as they prepare for the next phase of the downtown revitalization project. Barr says DED representatives will conduct a site visit sometime in June and will make a decision on the grant later this summer.
Barr is also conducting research as he prepares to write an application to have the downtown Falls City declared an historic district. The application deadline for that is July 1st. Barr explains the timeline for the application after that. (play audio :32)
This is the second consecutive year that Main Street Falls City has received the National Accreditation, as they also received the accreditation in 2012.
