[cid:image002.png at 01D94C43.28ECAEE0] Support a Historic Small Restaurant Now in its third year, the Backing Historic Small Restaurants Grant Program is once again on a national search for beloved local eateries that help tell a diverse story about cuisine and community in America. Together with American Express, we will award $1 million in grants to 25 historic and culturally significant restaurants throughout the United States to help them improve, upgrade, and preserve their exterior physical spaces and online businesses. This program seeks to assist a broad array of restaurants that contribute to their neighborhood's history and identity. And we want to hear from you! We invite you to use this form to tell us about the historic restaurants that are near and dear to your heart, and could use a little TLC to stay up and running. Submissions are due March 12, 2023, Buffy is happy to include a letter of support from OKMS. https://savingplaces.org/historicrestaurants [cid:image003.png at 01D94C44.2C5BC880] The National Park Service's Tribal Heritage Grants Program (THG) is now accepting applications for competitive grants. National Park Service's Tribal Heritage Grants Program focuses on protecting oral histories, plant and animal species important in tradition, sacred and historic places, and enabling the establishment of tribal historic preservation offices. The THG Program is funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and is administered by the NPS. Congress has appropriated $500,000 for the THG Program. Since 1990, more than $17 million has been awarded to over 460 Indian communities and Alaska Native Villages/Corporations. Available Grant Funding Grants are awarded through a competitive process and do not require non-Federal match. Federally-recognized Indian Tribes, Native Alaska Villages/Corporations, and Native Hawaiian Organizations (as defined by 54 U.S.C. Β§ 300309, 54 U.S.C. 300313, and 54 U.S.C. 300314) are eligible to receive THGs for cultural and historic preservation projects. More information and applications for the THG Program via https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html?keywords=Tribal%20Heritage Applications are due March 29, 2023. https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/tribal-heritage-grant-opportunity.htm Let me know if you have any queistons.

View it as a Web page. Tuesday, March 14, 2023 Contact: FHWA.PressOffice at dot.gov Biden-Harris Administration Opens Applications for First Round of $2.5 Billion Program to Build EV Charging in Communities & Neighborhoods Nationwide First round of funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Charging and Fueling Infrastructure program will help ensure America's zero-emission vehicle future is accessible and equitable, no matter where you live WASHINGTON - The Biden-Harris Administration today opened applications for a new multi-billion-dollar program to fund electric vehicle (EV) charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure in communities across the country and along designated highways, interstates, and major roadways. This is a key step towards the President's goals of building a national network of 500,000 public EV charging stations and reducing national greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% by 2030. The U.S. Department of Transportation's new Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program, established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will provide $2.5 billion over five years to a wide range of applicants, including cities, counties, local governments, and Tribes. This round of funding makes up to $700 million from fiscal years 2022 and 2023 funding available to strategically deploy EV charging and other alternative vehicle-fueling infrastructure projects in publicly accessible locations in urban and rural communities, as well as along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs). "By helping bring EV charging to communities across the country, this Administration is modernizing our infrastructure and creating good jobs in the process," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "With today's announcement, we are taking another big step forward in creating an EV future that is convenient, affordable, reliable, and accessible to all Americans." The CFI Discretionary Grant Program builds on the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, for which FHWA published finalized minimum standards earlier this month. EV chargers constructed with CFI funds must adhere to those same standards, a requirement that supports a consistent charging experience for users and ensures that our national charging network is convenient, reliable and Made in America. "Extending EV charging infrastructure into traditionally underserved areas will ensure that equitable and widespread EV adoption takes hold," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. "Ensuring that charging stations are more visible and accessible in our communities addresses the concerns many American drivers have when considering making the switch to electric." While the NEVI Formula Program sends money to States, Puerto Rico, and DC to build EV charging infrastructure along designated Interstates, U.S. routes, and State highways, the CFI Discretionary Grant Program awards competitive grants to projects serving a range of applicants to fill gaps in the national charging and alternative-fueling network and build out charging in communities. A priority of the CFI Program is bringing EV charging into urban and rural communities, downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities, as well as to designated alternative fuel corridors. Both the NEVI and CFI programs will create good-paying jobs across the country as more workers are needed to install and maintain EV charging stations, and both programs will help put the country on a path to a nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers by 2030. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law divides the CFI Program into two distinct grant funding categories, and requires that 50% of the funding over five years is made available for each: The Community Program will provide $1.25 billion to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure, and hydrogen, propane, or natural gas fueling infrastructure in communities. Infrastructure may be located on any public road or in other publicly accessible locations such as parking facilities at public buildings, public schools, and public parks, or in publicly accessible parking facilities owned or managed by a private entity. The Corridor Program will provide $1.25 billion to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling infrastructure along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs). "FHWA is committed to helping towns and cities, large and small, build modern, sustainable infrastructure that promotes equity and opportunity for their local economies and net-zero emissions for the nation by 2050," said Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt. "By encouraging the adoption and expansion of EV charging and alternative fuels, CFI Program investments have the potential to significantly address the transportation sector's outsized contributions to climate change." Eligible applicants and projects for both categories are outlined in a Notice of Funding Opportunity published today. Applications are due by May 30, 2023. FHWA seeks to fund projects that address environmental justice, particularly for communities such as rural and low- and moderate-income neighborhoods that may disproportionately experience the consequences of climate change and other pollutants. Today's announcement builds on a comprehensive series of EV-related actions taken by the Biden-Harris Administration. * In September 2022, FHWA approved all 52 EV charging plans from States, Puerto Rico, and DC - unlocking approximately $1.5 billion in FY22 and FY23 funding that can be used to implement those plans. * Earlier this year, DOT's FHWA announced finalized standards to make charging electric vehicles convenient, affordable, reliable, equitable, and safe for all Americans - no matter what car you drive or what state you charge in. * Earlier this year, the White House announced an implementation plan for President Biden's Build America, Buy America requirements that will incentivize companies to invest in domestic production of EV charging components, positioning U.S. workers and businesses to compete and lead globally in a critical industry while providing a common-sense transition period for companies to onshore complex supply chains. * The new Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) released a notice of intent to issue a funding opportunity for its Ride and Drive Electric research and development program. The community-driven models for EV charging deployment area of interest (AOI) may explore how to maximize benefits for underserved and disadvantaged communities and the workforce development AOI may explore how disadvantaged communities will benefit from high-quality job growth expected from transportation electrification. "It's critical that we build a national charging network that provides EV drivers with the right type of charging in the right location-whether that's high-powered charging on highway corridors and in urban hubs or Level 2 charging where EV drivers or riders live, work, and play," said Joint Office Executive Director Gabe Klein. "By working with cities and communities through the CFI Program to get this mix right, we can ensure that everyone has convenient and affordable access to riding and driving electric." FHWA and the Joint Office plan to conduct outreach to potential grant applicants regarding the CFI Program via webinars throughout March and April and will provide direct technical assistance to support states and communities as they build EV charging infrastructure through the NEVI Program and projects awarded under the CFI Program. Information on upcoming webinars can be viewed here. The Joint Office, through the new JUST Lab Consortium, will convene three U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories, to help identify practical approaches to integrate equity into federally-funded EV infrastructure deployment efforts, like projects awarded under the CFI Program-spanning deployment planning, implementation pathways, and policy design. Visit DriveElectric.gov to access technical assistance from the Joint Office.

Thank you for participating in the zoom call yesterday. The discussion on retail events and service/restaurant/retail mobs was very informative with lots of great ideas. Facebook + Conference Here is the link to the OMSC Directors & Volunteers Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/129569704119246 I will post the opening plenary seating location on this page (don't forget to wear your OMSC t-shirt) as well as email as soon as I get it. This is also the place to connect on where to eat, places to see, etc. in Boston. Please don't forget about the Main Street Now Conference COVID test requirements..... The health and safety of Main Street Now Conference attendees is Main Street America's top priority. To that end, they have put together the COVID precaution plan below that every attendee must abide by. (This information was included in conference marketing materials and you had to confirm your willingness to comply via the registration site). Testing Regardless of vaccination status, all attendees are required to conduct a COVID-19 test no more than 24-hours prior to check-in and to provide proof of a negative test result before they receive their badge and access conference areas/activities. Both PCR and self-administered rapid tests will be accepted. Showing Proof of Negative Test On-Site For tests performed in a clinical setting, a lab report including the attendee's name will be accepted. For self-administered tests, attendees must show a "test selfie" (i.e. a photo including their face and a clearly visible negative test result) and be prepared to show the selfie at check-in/registration. MSA will not retain copies of test results. Anyone who registered for the Main Street Now Conference already agreed to the above policy. Please read and ensure compliance before on-site arrival. NMSC Membership Contact me or any of the team members if you don't know your National Main Street Center membership number. If you are new to Main Street, then NMSC should have sent it to you directly. You will need it to log into the members area of https://www.mainstreet.org/home. Attached is the membership FAQ page. OMSC Zoom Calls The director zoom calls are from 9:00 - 10:00am on the second Tuesday of each month. Anna sends the calendar invite and zoom link prior to the event and I send a reminder with a list of topics. I am trying to find someone at the tax commission to talk about collecting taxes at events and permits. We are always open to suggestions as well. I look forward to seeing you at the Placemaking Conference on Monday and in Boston.
