Today, the Rock Springs Main Street/URA presented a $1,000 paint grant to the Family Vision Clinic at 544 Broadway. They recently had their entire building repainted and the URA is pleased to be able to assist them with the improvements.
The Façade Improvement Grant entitles the applicant up to $5,000.00 reimbursement towards the total cost of a façade improvement project. This is a matched grant and requires the applicant to pay for 50% of the total cost, while the grant pays for the remaining 50%, not to exceed $5,000.00. The Façade Improvement Grant pertains to exterior improvements only and may be applied to a front, side, or rear facade provided it faces a public street or parking area.
The Facade Painting Grant entitles the applicant up to $1,000.00 reimbursement per building. The Painting Grant can be used independently or in addition to the Façade Improvement Grant. The Painting Grant is available for up to 100% of the total cost of paint, not to exceed $1,000.00.
