Summary

Mayor Cook told the council the city has received about 119 applications for the Front Door program and reminded residents that homes with assessed values above $400,000 do not qualify.

Coon Rapids Mayor Cook told the City Council on Jan. 6 that the city has received about 119 applications for the Front Door home-improvement program and urged residents to check eligibility before applying.

Why it matters: the program is intended to increase curb appeal for qualifying homes; applicants whose properties have an assessed value above $400,000 do not qualify and should not complete a full application if their property exceeds that limit.
