BOARDMAN
Grant program to
assist local businesses
By GEORGE PLAVEN
East Oregonian
The Boardman Commu-
nity Development Associ-
ation has launched a new
business incentive program
to spur the city’s downtown
shopping scene.
Grants are available
for local shop owners to
improve their buildings and
buy new inventory, or to
attract outside businesses
looking to relocate into
town. The program offers
up to $25,000 or chipping
in 50 percent of the project
cost, whichever is less.
Funding comes from the
Columbia River Enterprise
Zone.
So far, the BCDA has
awarded three grants to
local businesses: one to
help a home-based sporting
goods retailer move into a
new storefront; one to help
an existing hardware store
expand; and one to help
a salon in Stanield open
a new Boardman branch.
Lisa Mittelsdorf, BCDA
president, said the associa-
tion wanted to reach out to
businesses after the recent
success of its homebuyers
incentive program, which
was introduced last year.
“The housing program
we’ve had has been really
successful,”
Mittelsdorf
said. “We just decided
another priority we needed
to focus on was those store-
front businesses.”
Eligible
businesses
include restaurants, ofice
buildings and motels.
Examples of projects might
include, but are not limited
to, facade and landscape
improvements, signs, inte-
rior design and buying new
equipment. Money can also
be used to help businesses
relocate into city limits,
paying for things like utility
deposits and phone installa-
tion.
Finding niche businesses
that it within the communi-
ty’s Main Street is a major
part of helping Boardman
to thrive, Mittelsdorf said.
“I think people are
excited about it,” she said.
“We’re trying to get the
word that this program is
available.”
Jill Parker, past president
for the BCDA, said the city
used to have a true down-
town area decades ago,
though that was somewhat
lost after being forced to
relocate with the building
of the John Day Dam.
Now, with Port of Morrow
capturing new industrial
growth at a steady pace, she
said their goal is to get the
right housing and services
to attract more of those
workers to live in town,
as opposed to commuting
from other communities.
“We think Boardman
will continue to grow,”
Parker said.
There is still $60,000
worth of grant money avail-
able through the business
incentive program, which
will be distributed on a irst-
come, irst-served basis. For
more information, contact
Parker at 541-481-3445.
