We are pleased to share with our Change.org supporters, that with the help of your support, Downtown Ellensburg ended 2008 with a net increase of 13 new downtown businesses and at least two of our downtown retailers reported that this was their best year ever!

 Our Brown Bag Business Basics small business education program received a Washington State Excellence in Downtown Revitalization award, and we made great strides in working with the City to address the complex code compliance issues that often hinder adaptive reuse of downtown’s historic buildings.   

We also successfully funded our first 2 change.org supported projects.  The installation of two functional art bike racks, (two more have just been funded and will be installed in May 2009 during national bike to work month) and production of a kids art calendar featuring children’s drawings of Downtown’s important historic buildings.

Thanks to supporters like you it’s been a good year for Downtown Ellensburg and we'll be working hard to make 2009 an equally great year and appreciate your support. please invite your friends to join our efforts.

Thanks so much for the Friends request! :) Gladly accepted! btw I used to live in Fremont, OH and loved to visit the Toledo Museum of Art... It was by far the best Art Museum I have ever visited! Also loved the Erie Street Market! :)

Stacy,

I’m pretty new to Change.org but like you I’m excited about the opportunity to support the causes that I care passionately about and the non profits that work for those causes.

I have started changes for Downtown Revitalization and Historic Preservation.   If you have a favorite non profit for either of these changes please recommend them.
