Julie Garcia (Economic Development) told the committee the facade improvement program that was discussed last fall is now live and accepting applications. She said funding is limited and urged committee members to share the opportunity with local businesses that may benefit.
Garcia said the program can provide up to $15,000 per facade and that Economic Development staff can assist business owners who need help applying or prefer staff assistance in-person. She left flyers and said more information is available on the meeting PowerPoint and program materials.
Next steps: staff asked committee members to encourage eligible businesses to apply quickly because funds are limited.
