The historic Gray-Belle Building, which houses Fork Forty Food Hall, won an award for its benefit to downtown through the Oregon Main Street program.
The building was awarded “outstanding mixed use project” through the “Excellence on Main” awards earlier this month.
In addition to the food hall, there are apartments, an escape room and a room where you can break things.
The awards were created in 2010 to honor outstanding accomplishments, activities, and people making a difference in historic downtowns and traditional commercial neighborhoods across the state
Last month, the building was awarded the DeMuro Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation, the state’s highest honor for the preservation, reuse, and revitalization of architectural and cultural sites.
