Board approves final and midpoint historic-rehab grants for Jefferson and East Street properties
Summary
The board approved a $7,500 final grant for 523 Jefferson Street and a $3,750 midpoint payment for 311 East Street, covering exterior repairs including windows, painting and masonry work.
The Madison City Board of Public Works and Safety on Sept. 2 approved two historic-rehabilitation grants: a final payment of $7,500 for work at 523 Jefferson Street and a midpoint payment of $3,750 for work at 311 East Street.
City staff presented the 523 Jefferson final application. Staff said the property required repainting, reglazing of windows, gutter and wood replacement, and tuckpointing of a front stone wall; the applicant requested the full $7,500 award. The board approved the final payment by voice vote.
For 311 East Street, staff said the applicant had replaced the street-facing windows and the front door, and planned to replace the stairs and complete repainting. The board approved a midpoint payment equal to half the full award, $3,750, to allow continued work.
Both approvals were routine grant actions; board members offered no objections during the motions. The board and staff noted the work is intended to preserve historic exteriors and maintain the character of the downtown residential districts.
