This month, Gold Beach Main Street continued building momentum with revitalization efforts, local business highlights, and community engagement. We shared updates on the Reimagine Ellensburg campaign as we prepare for upcoming public input on the U.S. 101 Community Connections Plan, celebrated Kissing Rock Coffee’s award-winning success, and thanked the foundations whose support fuels our work. Together, we’re creating a Main Street that reflects the heart of Gold Beach.

In this issue, we update you on our recent Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant, give you a first look at Legends Fest plans, and introduce Iris Wilson, our “organizational wizard,” in our Main Street Faces spotlight.
