and facade of the multiple tenant building. The facade improvements include new
cultured stone pilasters and cornice details on the existing dryvit facade, repair

project. The Multi -Unit Retail Grant Program is a sliding scale 50% matching
grant for eligible expenses. Based upon the size of the building and cost of the
project, the property qualifies for the maximum grant of $50,000.00. Staff
recommends that the City Council approve the Business Assistance Program
applicant for reimbursement up to $50,000.00 based upon project completion.

featuring a cornice detail and pilasters composed of cultured stone. Additionally,
