The Woodshed Receives Façade Grant from the City of Monmouth TIF Funds

Share

This project involves Monmouth’s façade program. The program is funded through the use of restricted TIF funds that may not be used for expenses that are not directly related to economic development. No general fund revenues are used to fund this program.

The owner of the Woodshed has applied for a Façade Improvement Grant to improve the appearance of the front of the building. The improvements will include the removal of the covering over the transom area and replacement with windows that aesthetically match the building. The current awning of the building will also be replaced, and the lower windows will be enlarged.

The total cost for this 2nd stage of improvements is $16,700 and follows a previous investment of $76,000 by the owner.

The building plans were presented to the façade committee and were forwarded with a recommendation for approval to City Council. Under Monmouth’s Façade program, the building will qualify for partial reimbursement of the $16,700 investment.

A motion was made to follow the façade committee’s recommendation and reimburse J.B.’s Woodshed for $7500. The motion was approved.
