Summary

City staff recommended a $4,000 façade-improvement matching grant for Deluring Brewing to support an $8,000 exterior project tied to an interior kitchen build. The applicant plans to start work in August and finish by the end of September; the council will act at the next regular meeting.

Mark presented a façade-improvement grant application from Deluring Brewing seeking $4,000 toward an $8,000 exterior project. The work would include new signage on the north side of the building, changes to door signage to reflect new hours and framing over a back garage opening to accommodate an interior kitchen. The design committee reviewed the proposal and recommended approval.

Mark said the applicant plans to begin work in August with completion expected by the end of September and noted this request is separate from an interior-related culture/entertainment grant the business is pursuing. Council members praised the business and the program’s role in supporting downtown dining and economic activity. The council did not vote at the workshop; staff will place the item on the Monday agenda for formal action.
