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.
Downtown Facade Improvement Grant Program
Small businesses flooded the city with 42 grant applications totaling $1.2 million in projects, vastly exceeding the $50,000 allocated budget. The review committee faces tough choices in awarding funds for storefront improvements, signage, and parking lots.
