Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing RARE‐Main Street partnership in Oregon and evaluate
the strengths, limitations, and areas in need of improvement. The researcher integrated the more
practical exercise of program evaluation with the academic study of (1) the need for intervention in local
communities and (2) what “capacity building” means to the broader audience of community planning and
preservation professionals, as well as to individual rural communities, within the context of community
revitalization and the Main Street Approach®.
