Facade Improvement Grant Program

The Main Street approach, a coordinated management initiative in downtown revitalization, focuses its image- building structure around four key issues. They are design, promotion, economic restructuring, and organization. It has been the experience of over twelve hundred Main Street Communities that the design and physical integrity of downtown commercial structures is extremely important, not only as a matter of aesthetics, but also in contributing to the success of retail and commercial businesses. Property owners who have reinvested in their buildings through restoration and facade improvements have in most cases realized real gains in property values. This trend also transcends to neighboring structures, as well as, the total property value of the downtown commercial district.

The ultimate goal of this program is to encourage improvements which stress the historic significance and uniqueness of downtown structures through building restoration and beautification.
