<p>Our City government has given us major support. They passed a
facade grant fund to give out $50,000 in matching funds which
generated over $900,000 in downtown improvements. Hopefully it
will be renewed next year. The Planning Department has assisted
us in many ways, from recommending a Cad operator to draw up plans
for our proposed Gateway Arch to researching historical buildings
in our Main Street boundaries, the department also guided us thru
city codes. Their staff is always eager to help us solve our
problems. <br>
</p>
<p>The Public Works Department has sent crews out to clean up the
downtown for our scheduled events and their employees volunteered
on a weekend to help us spruce up the downtown corridor. They
shared the City engineer's time for guidance on structural
recommendations for projects. <br>
</p>
<p>The City Manager includes us on meetings for city beautification,
strategic planning and wayfinding for Ontario and one of the city
employees is planning to write a city grant requesting funds to
assist us in the construction of the Gateway sign.</p>
<p>I cannot say enough about our city support, we couldn't have done
any of our work without the cooperation of our City Government.
They have not had funds to hand us money but they have been a
significant tool to make our pathway a success over the past five
years. We are fortunate to have great city fathers who have the
same goal as Revitalize Ontario! to promote and develop a healthy
prosperous community. Our focus is on Ontario's Historic downtown
while the City has a much larger challenge of bringing prosperity
and improvement of quality of life for the whole city. Together
we can make our community better. Charlotte Fugate, President of
Revitalize Ontario!<br>
