volunteer recognition.
Tigard encourages local, regional and community events. City funding priorities go to events which move toward financial self-sufficiency and new community-
wide events.
Business owners,property owners, and residents of the Main Street Area display strong leadership, ownership, and commitment to downtown development.The
Main Street area is seen as a "focal point"for the community A clear direction has been established for a pedestrian-friendly downtown and is being implemented.

areas for community use.
