One of the greatest pleasures we get each year is when we get to announce the recipients of our annual round of Cycle Oregon Fund grants. Your participation in Cycle Oregon is not just good for the towns we ride through – it helps fund projects all across the state (and, occasionally, beyond). Here are the recipients of the first round of 2010 Cycle Oregon Fund grants:
• City of Monmouth: $5,000 for bike racks in City Park
• Elgin EDGE: $3,500 for Elgin Opera House restoration
• City of Waitsburg (WA): $5,000 for Main Street beautification project
• Waitsburg Booster Club: $5,000 for improvements to community athletic fields
• City of Weston: $3,000 for City Hall preservation project feasibility study
