Twisp plans to apply for up to $250,000 in state Creative District capital grant
Summary
Minutes note Washington State Creative District capital grants will reopen after annual reports; Twisp may request up to $250,000 requiring 50% match (25% cash, 25% in‑kind) and is exploring TIB funds and a $13,000 Methow Arts mural grant as match sources.
Twisp Creative District’s minutes for July 24, 2025 record plans to pursue Washington State Creative District capital funding once annual reports are submitted. The minutes state the maximum grant request is $250,000 and that the grant requires a 50% match, composed of 25% cash and 25% in‑kind contributions.
The district is exploring several matching sources, including Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funds already budgeted for bike racks and benches and a $13,000 mural program grant from Methow Arts. The minutes say staff and volunteers are developing a budget to calculate total available match funds and the overall project budget prior to the fall deadlines.
The record positions streetscape elements such as seating, signage, landscaping, creative paving, and artist furnishings as likely eligible match components. The district expects to finalize a budget in October and prepare construction documents in September ahead of a 2026 bid schedule.
