Who We Are

The Uptown Business & Revitalization Association is a volunteer-operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering economic growth and vitality in Oakridge's Uptown district. Our passionate volunteers unite local business owners, property owners, and community members in our mission to create a vibrant, welcoming destination that serves both residents and visitors.

Building on Oakridge's transformation from a lumber town to an outdoor recreation hub, we work to preserve our area's unique character while promoting sustainable development. Through grassroots community efforts and volunteer initiatives, we support existing businesses, attract new enterprises, and enhance our district through beautification projects and community events.

As a nonprofit organization, we reinvest all resources directly into our community's growth and development, ensuring that every contribution helps build a stronger, more prosperous Uptown Oakridge.

How We Do It

Methodology:

A 501c3 membership based organization focused on supporting the revitalization of the Uptown district of Oakridge, Oregon by identifying and facilitating beautification projects, community events and grant funding for projects within the district. UBRA works with Oregon Main Street (OMS), a Main Street America Coordinating Program under the Oregon Heritage State Historic Preservation Office, to match applicants with funding from the OMS grant program, and utilizes OMS guidance and training to further the organization.
