The city of Hermiston has issued its first reimbursement award for an Urban Renewal District Facade grant. Businesses and property owners in the downtown area are encouraged to apply for these funds which have been dedicated to help improve and upgrade the appearance of properties in the downtown.
The Facade Grant Program can offer grant awards of up to 50 percent of the total project’s cost, with a maximum grant award of $10,000. Smaller grant requests are also encouraged. The award recently issued to Rob Shaefer to make repairs to the exterior of his building was a 20-percent match, for a total of $591.48.
