Facade Improvement Program

The Facade Improvement Program has been created to rehabilitate the facades of downtown commercial buildings. Financial assistance through the program is in the form of an interest free, "deferred" loan, forgivable over a five-year period. There is a limit of $10,000 in program funds per project per property during a five-year period for facade improvements through the renovation program alternative. Projects which make use of the restoration/rehabilitation
program shall have a limit of $15,000 in program funds per project per property during a five-year period. There shall be a minimum matching financing requirement of 50 percent per project. In other words, matching funds must equal at least the amount of the funds provided for either program.
