The MEDC has announced that applications are now being accepted for grant funds that will make a difference in downtowns.  This one-time allocation of $400,000 in total funding is availble to core communities and will require a 50/50 local cash match. Awards will range from $25,000-$100,000 per community and can be for a variety of projects, including public infrastructure, acquisition of property or buildings, facade improvements, way finding signage, public art and downtown trails or bike paths.
