The LaSalle Finance Committee approved a small RIP (rehabilitation/investment program) grant for $2,564.65 to support window replacement at a downtown commercial property, 128 Buckland Street.

Applicant Catherine Whelan attended the meeting and said she is seeking funds to replace windows on the old IBCH building at that address. Committee members expressed support for maintaining the appearance of downtown commercial buildings and for shared investment with local business owners.

A motion to approve the RIP grant was made by Alderman LaBary and seconded by Alderman Thompson. The roll-call vote recorded 'Aye' votes from members present and the motion carried.

No additional conditions or funding splits were stated in the meeting record; the application and approval were limited to the $2,564.65 amount requested.
