The Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant Program offers up to $400,000 in funds for projects in designated downtown areas in Oregon communities participating in the Oregon Main Street Network. Projects can include façade improvement, accessibility enhancement, and more. The purpose of the program is to:
Acquire, rehabilitate, and construct buildings on properties in designated downtown areas statewide; and
Facilitate community revitalization that will lead to private investment, job creation or retention, establishing or expanding viable businesses, or creating a stronger tax base.
The primary focus area of our downtown revitalization effort encompasses businesses and public spaces on and directly adjacent to Hwy 101 from the north end of the historic Patterson Bridge to Gold Beach High School.
Gold Beach Main Street is proud to have facilitated three of these grants in our community. See our past projects below.
To get started, we have an online form that’s easy to fill out. You must fill out this form and send it to us by Feb. 6 to be considered in this funding cycle.

Sunset Station
Historic Building Renovation

Former gas station comes back in new afterlife.
Sunset Station originally serviced automobiles next to the long-gone Sunset Inn. Current owner Susan Golay has renovated the building inside and out and currently houses a real estate office and other ventures.

Once upon a time, it was the hospital…
Dan's Ace Hardware, previously owned by Dan and Tammy Delaney (pictured), received a facelift in 2019 through an Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant. The project featured roof renovation and fascia board replacement. The Dan's Ace Hardware building, built in 1945, was originally the Gold Beach Hospital and has historical significance within the community.
First Chapter Coffee House
Former grocery, then furniture store has a bright new entrepreneurial future.
The historic Hub Building was constructed in 1964 and originally served as the McKay's Market. It is a 7,500 sq. ft., joisted masonry structure built in the modern commercial-style by architecture firm Kruse and Fitch of Coos Bay, Oregon. Kruse and Fitch are notable for their contemporary architecture along the Southern Oregon coast. The Hub Building is defined by its unique "zig-zag" roofline, one of the only buildings in Gold Beach with this feature.
This project enhanced and expanded three businesses that serve locals and tourists by revitalizing a building in disrepair, making it accessible, energy-efficient and modernized. Currently, First Chapter Coffee House, Fresh Prints of Gold Beach and Choose Your Own Adventure are thriving in the location.
