Coos Bay is part of the Oregon Main Street Program
The Oregon Main Street Program is a state program for commercial historic district revitalization that is designed to build high quality, livable, and sustainable communities that will grow Oregon’s economy while maintaining a sense of place. The Coos Bay Downtown Association and the City of Coos Bay partnered in the application process for the Transforming Downtown Level of the Main Street Program in November 2011. Coos Bay was accepted into the program in January 2012. With support from a Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) grant and financial support from the City of Coos Bay, the Coos Bay Downtown Association hired a Main Street Manager to foster the development of downtown Coos Bay.
