[MainstreetTowns] Facade Grants & Murals

[Mainstreet]

Chelsea,

Interesting! We have a Façade Grant Program that doesn't specifically list murals. We hadn't thought of that! We do allow for painting of non-painted brick, so I would consider murals as part of that. We would require a sketch of what it would look like for approval prior to acceptance.

I've attached our Façade Grant Application (full disclosure, stolen from Ed). We are updating the grant to be five specific grants (awning, paint, windows/doors, lighting/signgage, storefront) per Jeremy's suggestion. It's the same grant pool really, and the same application, but different cover sheets. I've attached the one for Paint, which I've now added murals to! It's not finished, so the big blank box is for a testimonial or example of how it could be used.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for the idea!

Jessica

Does anyone incorporate or allow façade grant funds to be used for murals?  We had a discussion about this at our Design Meeting this morning.  If your community does this, I'd love to see examples of your rules/regs/façade grant info/etc.  Thanks!!
