Summary

The advisory board approved a storm-mitigation and resiliency grant of up to $15,000 for downtown business Crooked Halos to cover part of an estimated $20,000 project to harden storefronts; the motion passed unanimously by voice vote.

The advisory board approved a storm mitigation/resiliency grant application for Crooked Halos, a downtown Dean Street tenant. Staff said the total project cost was $20,000 and Crooked Halos requested $15,000.

The motion to approve the grant was moved and seconded, and the board approved the application unanimously by voice vote. Staff and members discussed program rules — including that tenant applicants must obtain owner permission because the devices would remain fixtures of the property — and confirmed other downtown properties are preparing similar applications.

The grant was approved as an advisory recommendation to the CRA Board and staff will follow the documented program procedures to finalize agreements.
