What is it?

The façade grant program is back! The last of the monies assigned to the Façade Program the Council established ran out in February of 2019. In the Budget for 2020-2021 the Budget Committee approved new funding for the project. The new boundaries for the Phase II project will be the properties facing along the commercial corridor of SW 4th Avenue from Yturri Beltline to SW 1st Street, Idaho Avenue from NW 10th Street to Interstate 84, SW 1st Street from West Idaho Avenue to SW 5th Avenue and SE 2nd Street from East Idaho Avenue to SE 5th Avenue being the Commercial store fronts facing the above described Street.

The Facade Grant Program is specifically designed for the preservation and/or restoration of historic building facades. The program utilizes public funds to entice private investment by property and business owners interested in rehabilitating and restoring downtown commercial structures, stressing their historic significance. The goals of this program are: 1) to encourage historic preservation through restoration of the town existing structures, 2) to abate any continued deterioration of city by restoring the uniqueness, character and integrity of city structures to the period of their construction.
