I’m working with the City of West Linn on possibly including Façade Improvement Grants into our ARPA Funding package.  I was hoping to get examples already being done by other cities around the state.

Some of the questions we had were:

  *   How much do you offer?
  *   How much of a match do you require?
  *   Do you have different dollar amounts for buildings/facades that only benefit a smaller building/business vs a larger building with multiple businesses/doors/facades?

If you could also provide links to the information online it would be appreciated!!

Thank you for you in advance for your assistance!
