Lone Elk Marketplace Renovation – Spray, Oregon

In 2024, the Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation (GEODC) utilized $4,500 from the Business Oregon Rural Capacity Fund to secure a $200,000 grant for the Lone Elk Marketplace in Spray, Oregon. GEODC managed the grant process, supporting a complete renovation and rebranding of the facility. The project restored the kitchen, replaced the roof, and added laundry units and showers—enhancing access to essential goods and services for approximately 10,000 residents and visitors each year.
