By Journal Staff

ISHPEMING -- Applications are now open for Ishpeming's 2024 Downtown Development Authority Facade Improvement Grant Program.

Eligible buildings must be located within the designated DDA district.

The program uses public funds to stimulate commercial investment and aid local businesses, especially for facade improvements or modifications to improve accessibility.

Grant awards will equal no more than 50% of the total project cost on a reimbursable basis. There is no minimum award, however the maximum award is established at $10,000 for a single project. All award amounts are entirely within the discretion of the DDA.

Applications for the Facade Improvement Grant Program are currently open with an application deadline of March 11.

The DDA will rank applications at its regular meeting on March 25.
