Board approves $13,477 grant to restore 118 College Avenue for Grass Stains Boutique
Summary
The board approved a grant up to $13,477 for renovation of an abandoned building at 118 College Avenue to house Grass Stains Boutique; staff said construction should take about three months and the store could open by February 2026.
The board approved a facade grant for 118 College Avenue to support the rehabilitation of an abandoned building into a Grass Stains Boutique. Ashley Seiler told the board the building has been vacant since the mid‑1970s; the applicant expects to strip the building to a shell, install new mechanical systems and finish interior work, with total project costs estimated at $80,000–$90,000 and an expected construction timeline of three months.
Seiler said the applicant provided three bids and that staff recommended approval. The applicant (owner Dawn Phillips) did not report completed work; board members confirmed eligible costs would be reimbursed only after verification. The motion to approve the requested grant amount passed unanimously.
