Durant Main Street Facade Grant Available Downtown

The Durant Main Street Board of Directors have matching grants of up to $500 for buildings undergoing significant change. The grants are available until the funding is all utilized. To stimulate removal of metal coverings, the Board felt this was an appropriate step.

Durant Main Street is accepting applications from building owners and tenants to restore and rehabilitate their downtown buildings. Façade Improvement Grant funds are matching grants available for the storefronts of these buildings. Funds are available to Durant Main Street Members who restore a building within the Durant Main Street District.

Grants are for facade improvements only. Improvements can include storefronts, signage, awnings, windows, cornices, doors, masonry repair, paint and paint removal. The $500 grants are still available to members also.

For more information or an application form, please call the Durant Main Street office at 580-924-1550 or e-mail ddow@durantmainstreet.org.

Improvement Program. Joy's Boutique, Relics Unlimited, and Uptown Lady were
the first three businesses to take advantage of the matching grant. All the
businesses have a nice new sign representing their business
