The Downtown Facade Improvement Grant Program for the City of Powell aims to enhance the visual appeal, economic vitality, and overall development of the downtown area.
Administered by the Powell Development Corporation, the program offers matching funds for facade improvements and encourages property owners to invest in upgrading and enhancing the aesthetics of their buildings. To ensure compliance with the City of Powell Downtown Architectural Guidelines, the program will also permit demolition, when appropriate, while preserving the historic character of the downtown area.
Property owners within the designated downtown area of Powell are eligible to apply for the grant. Grant applications may include commercial, mixed-use, or residential (demolition only) buildings.
The grant program will offer a maximum grant amount of $25,000, which will be matched by the property owner’s investment. Projects must have a minimum $1,500 ($3,000 total project cost). Matching funds must include direct financial contributions, including design and construction fees.
