<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The City of Lebanon is looking to change our incentive program for our downtown façade improvement program. Currently we cover up to 6% of a loan on a project that will improve the façade of a downtown business, this program has seen very
little success. I would like to see us doing something more along the lines of small grants instead, but would like to see what other successful programs are already out there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any feedback with success or learning opportunities would be greatly appreciated as well as applications and guidelines that go with them so I am not reinventing the wheel!
