Member Benefits

Here's what Carlton Business Association and its members are up to:

  • The CBA sponsors numerous marketing campaigns throughout the year in strategically-placed publications such as the Yamhill Valley Visitor Guide, Mix Magazine and theOregon Wine Press. Members who opt-in to the $100 marketing fee receive prominent mention in ads.
  • The Carlton Main Street committee is investigating a scenic bypass route through Carlton.
  • The Office Oversight Committee stocks the rack card in the John L Scott/CBA office on Main Street and distributes brochures to other visitor centers.
  • The long-awaited Information Kiosk is built and should display the CBA member map by Thanksgiving.
  • The CBA’s marketing program designed for the Labor Day Half Marathon (in which participating CBA business members offered discounts to runners who displayed our custom-printed “Carlton” corks) encouraged visitors to explore Carlton after the race.

We’re Helping to Make Carlton a Great Place to Live, Work and Visit

  • In May, we partnered with the City of Carlton to sponsor Clean Up Carlton Day, resulting in 6 dumpsters of trash, yard and electronic waste, as well as a lot of cleaned-up streets and yards throughout town.
  • The Carlton Main Street Committee procured grants to restore the Ladd Fountain in Upper Park and is partnering with the City to complete a poolhouse/public restroom design study and submit a grant application.
  • The Board of Directors is working with City on a New Business Welcome Packet
  • CBA members painted, cleaned up and replanted flowers at Welcome to Carlton signs
  • Love those Carlton banners –courtesy of the CBA!
