The State of Oregon Historic Preservation Office offers funding through its Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant Program un- der the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Marko helped GEMS apply for the grant and worked with Dianne Daggett, a vol- unteer with consulting experience in Enterprise, to write the appli- cation so that the OK Theatre could leverage funds for renovations based on the business plan. By May, Marko and Enterprise learned GEMS had been awarded the maximum amount, $100,000. They would use the funds to upgrade restrooms to meet ADA requirements, improve electrical service such as, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sealing and insulating, and to retain the building’s historical character. The grant award has galvanized the Enterprise community around the OK Theatre and downtown revitalization, Marko says. The Wallowa County Chieftain newspaper published an article on the grant and quoted Marko: “It (the Oregon Main Street Revitaliza- tion Grant Program) really engaged the city, as well as businesses to show support for the theatre, which helped get the grant.” The momentum continued. In August, Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) featured the OK Theatre on its “State of Wonder” program, which highlights unique characteristics of Oregon communities. Then, in October, Brann initiated a fundraising campaign, “Count- down to the Centennial,” with a kick-off event featuring local food and micro-brewery Terminal Gravity. The campaign’s goal was to raise $56,000 to further support renovating the OK Theatre by the 100th anniversary in 2019. Brann also intends to apply for a façade grant through the State Housing and Preservation Office (SHPO) for external improvements to the OK Theatre. Brann meanwhile looks ahead as he continues to manage the the- atre’s activities, including booking bands and private events, pro- moting shows and organizing clean-up after concerts. When he needs help, his wife and five young children pitch in. “Right now, all the kids enjoy this stuff,” he says. “This is something we can take on that we can all do together.” The OK Theatre renovation is but one of several projects in Enter- prise. Since 2015, new downtown businesses have emerged, includ- ing Dandelion Wines and Sugar Time Bakery. While RCAC was not directly involved in these businesses, it reflects what a local con- tractor, Andy McKee, who has renovated another historic building observes: “Enterprise has momentum and momentum is conta- gious. Once people see things happening, more can happen.”■ Enterprise has momentum and momentum is contagious. Once people see things happening, more can happen. 8
