Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey that was sent by the National Main Street Center in 2017. For three days in December, OMSC and our National liaison, Norma Ramirez de Miess, reviewed and analyzed the findings, and it was insightful. We wrote new vision and mission statements as well as determined a few overarching priorities based on the survey information. Everything will be finalized in the next couple of weeks, and then we will share it. Based on the findings, OMSC is developing the following trainings this year. We are working with the National Main Street Center to find speakers, and I welcome ideas, comments, and questions.

However, there is a fee for it if you take it. The Future of Retail Recorded 30 minute session: January 16 at 12 noon CST Live Q&A session: January 23 at 12 noon CST 2017 was the Retail Apocalypse. What will the future hold for small retail? "Despite the headlines, what we are witnessing is not the death of all retail," Becky McCray said. "Retail is splitting in two. This time, small retailers are the big winners." Becky and Deb will talk about the underlying consumer trend driving this split and how in-person retail will become more than just bricks and mortar. You'll learn why small retailers are actually in a better position than big boxes and what specific steps retailers can take to thrive into the future. You'll get beyond the basics to go Rural Omni Local, reaching your customers where they are and using some new tools--and some old ones--to get there. "Local organizations like chambers of commerce and downtown associations will learn the number one challenge local businesses say they face," Deb Brown said. "You'll learn how that can help attract merchants to your group. You'll also see how to pull down the barriers to entry for local retailers, generating lots more retail startups and activity in your community." About the Dates and Times This is a flipped webinar, which means it comes in 2 parts: a 30 minute recorded lesson plus a one hour live discussion. The 30 minute lesson on Future of Retail is available to watch anytime starting January 16 at 12 noon CST. You get a week to watch anytime, then the live Q&A discussion session will be one week later, January 23 at 12 noon CST. This flipped webinar format from SaveYour.Town makes it easier to hold group watch parties with the recorded session anytime that is convenient for you, then follow up with questions and discussion at the live session. If you are unable to attend on Jan 16 or Jan 23, both parts will be recorded. You'll have access to them until February 6. You can invite others to watch with you, so you can hold community watch parties or just sit down with a friend to learn together.

The building is surprisingly still in good shape (I've had an inspection done - the foundation is in great shape) but needs a lot of work before it can be used again. My wife and I are wanting to restore the building and live upstairs and start our family there, however, finding a bank that issues a loan for a non-livable, commercially-zoned building is difficult (I'm currently working with the city on how I can get the building rezoned as residential). I was wondering if anyone knows of a bank or a program that issues loans towards the rehabilitation of historic properties? Attached are two pictures of the building. Any leads or information would be greatly appreciated!

I would ask for a copy of Medford's zoning regulation as it relates to the district and determine if residential is an allowable use. I cannot imagine that it is not. If you find this to be the case, no rezoning would be required. I would find out if the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If so, you may be eligible to pursue a tax credit project. I would contact Lynda Ozan with the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office. I would contact Don Roberts at Autry Technology and see if he could guide you to lending institutions who might be interested in a venture like this. If he can't help you, he may be able to direct you to someone who can. Just a few of my thoughts.

The building is surprisingly still in good shape (I've had an inspection done - the foundation is in great shape) but needs a lot of work before it can be used again. My wife and I are wanting to restore the building and live upstairs and start our family there, however, finding a bank that issues a loan for a non-livable, commercially-zoned building is difficult (I'm currently working with the city on how I can get the building rezoned as residential). I was wondering if anyone knows of a bank or a program that issues loans towards the rehabilitation of historic properties? Attached are two pictures of the building. Any leads or information would be greatly appreciated!

I have good and bad news this morning. The bad news first - Larry turned in his resignation notice yesterday, and his last day will be February 2nd (his birthday). The good news is that he will still be a part of Main Street, but will be working for Colorado Main Street. He and his family have wanted to move to Colorado for some time, and we are happy for them all. Since he is still with Main Street, there is a chance we will get see him at the National Main Street Conference, and the National Preservation Conference. He will be missed.

What a great combination. You get to move to a cool state AND stay part of a cool network. Thanks for all the work you did here during your tenure with Oklahoma Main Street. You elevated the design services to a new level. Tell great Oklahoma stories there in Colorado so that they realize we are cool, too….just maybe our towns are a little flatter. Keep sharing twin photos….and, by all means, keep wearing plaid shirts. Ron P.S. A good travel stop in the summer on your way to visit Oklahoma is Burlington, Colorado. The girls will love the historic carousel ride at the fairgrounds! https://www.kitcarsoncountycarousel.com/ We’ve had many great picnics in the beautiful park right downtown. It is a good place to run off the energy that builds in the back seat. Unfortunately, The World’s Largest Prairie Dog stop in Oakley, Kansas, is now closed. It was a right of passage for parents traveling through western Kansas. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11444 .

What a great combination. You get to move to a cool state AND stay part of a cool network. Thanks for all the work you did here during your tenure with Oklahoma Main Street. You elevated the design services to a new level. Tell great Oklahoma stories there in Colorado so that they realize we are cool, too….just maybe our towns are a little flatter. Keep sharing twin photos….and, by all means, keep wearing plaid shirts. Ron P.S. A good travel stop in the summer on your way to visit Oklahoma is Burlington, Colorado. The girls will love the historic carousel ride at the fairgrounds! https://www.kitcarsoncountycarousel.com/ We’ve had many great picnics in the beautiful park right downtown. It is a good place to run off the energy that builds in the back seat. Unfortunately, The World’s Largest Prairie Dog stop in Oakley, Kansas, is now closed.

The good news is that he will still be a part of Main Street, but will be working for Colorado Main Street. He and his family have wanted to move to Colorado for some time, and we are happy for them all. Since he is still with Main Street, there is a chance we will get see him at the National Main Street Conference, and the National Preservation Conference. He will be missed.

I would ask for a copy of Medford's zoning regulation as it relates to the district and determine if residential is an allowable use. I cannot imagine that it is not. If you find this to be the case, no rezoning would be required. I would find out if the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If so, you may be eligible to pursue a tax credit project. I would contact Lynda Ozan with the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office. I would contact Don Roberts at Autry Technology and see if he could guide you to lending institutions who might be interested in a venture like this. If he can't help you, he may be able to direct you to someone who can. Just a few of my thoughts.

The building is surprisingly still in good shape (I've had an inspection done - the foundation is in great shape) but needs a lot of work before it can be used again. My wife and I are wanting to restore the building and live upstairs and start our family there, however, finding a bank that issues a loan for a non-livable, commercially-zoned building is difficult (I'm currently working with the city on how I can get the building rezoned as residential). I was wondering if anyone knows of a bank or a program that issues loans towards the rehabilitation of historic properties? Attached are two pictures of the building. Any leads or information would be greatly appreciated!
