Downtown Facade Improvement Grant Program
The TIRZ grant programs for exterior upgrades, parking lot improvements, and mold remediation will now accept applications until the money runs out instead of closing on a deadline. Staff heard from business owners who missed the old deadline simply because they were too busy running their businesses.
TIRZ #1 Flood Recovery Grants and Program Amendments
The TIRZ #1 board overhauled its exterior and parking lot grant programs to help local businesses rebuild after severe flooding. By dropping the matching fund requirement, extending application deadlines to October 30, and adding $50,000 to each grant pool, the city is making it much easier for storm-damaged businesses to get financial help.
