Charlestown Redevelopment Commission approves $10,000 façade grant for 835 Pike Street veterinary clinic
Summary
The Redevelopment Commission on June 2 approved a $10,000 façade grant to help convert 835 Pike Street into a veterinary clinic. The project's estimated total cost is $31,344; the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The Charlestown Redevelopment Commission on June 2 voted to award a $10,000 façade grant to the owner of 835 Pike Street to support exterior improvements for conversion to a veterinary clinic.
Ms. Sara Caffrey, the property owner and applicant, presented the request for funds to replace the roof, siding, gutters and soffits; she told the Commission the total estimated project cost is $31,344 and that the interior will be remodeled to accommodate a veterinary technician facility. Board member John Spencer moved to approve the award; Chuck Deaton seconded the motion, and the vote was 5-0 in favor.
The action was recorded as a formal motion and approval by the five commissioners present: President Derek Coombs, Secretary Benita Pate, John Spencer, Chuck Deaton and Robert Brooks. The transcript does not specify the fund source for the façade grant beyond the term "facade grant funds." The Commission did not discuss additional conditions attached to the award in the recorded proceedings.
The approval authorizes exterior work to proceed; the meeting minutes do not record a timeline for completion of the façade work or subsequent permits. The Commission moved on to other agenda items following the vote.
