Board approves $10,000 façade grant for North Daviess Community Growth Alliance
Summary
Commissioners approved a $10,000 private façade grant for the North Daviess Community Growth Alliance aimed at improving downtown appearance and encouraging private investment in small towns.
Dan Henning, founder of the North Daviess Community Growth Alliance (NDCGA), described the group's origin from the Odon Business Alliance and its goals to increase social media engagement, partner with the Visitor's Bureau and encourage private investments in downtowns. He said the group established a private façade grant program to improve visible appeal and spur foot traffic.
The board approved a $10,000 façade grant for the NDCGA unanimously (motion by TC Cook; seconded by Nathan Gabhart). The grant is intended for private investments that improve downtown appearance and building preservation in smaller towns within North Daviess.
