The DTCIP, now in its fifth year, encourages growth in the core of the city by providing grants designed to stimulate development. Council approved $240,000 for the 2021 grant program to offset costs related to façade improvements, signage, feasibility studies, building improvements and the creation of residential units.
“Over the past five years, we have seen great transformations take place through the Downtown Tomorrow grant program,” said Mayor Steve Clarke. “These projects include new commercial spaces, redevelopment of vacant buildings, additional residential units, and beyond. This not only spurs revitalization of our City’s core, but also creates jobs, creates housing, and stimulates local spending that is put back into our local economy.”

The next workshop is taking place on Sept. 28, 2021 from 4 to 5 p.m. Interested applicants are encouraged to attend this workshop to learn more about the DTCIP programs and funding amounts, as well as how to fill out their application.
