Impact analysis
Up to $950,000 in proposed state grant funding — none of it local taxpayer money if awarded.
Owners of older commercial buildings, downtown alley users, and neighborhoods plagued by blighted properties.
The Faeling Arch storm drain repair loses its dedicated $200,000 funding source for now.
