Main Street Siloam Springs, Inc. is pleased to call for applications, for the second year running, of the Gloria McEnroe Façade Renovation Grant for downtown Siloam Springs business and property owners. Named after a long-time, dedicated board member and Siloam citizen, the Gloria McEnroe Façade Renovation Grant is a $1000 matching grant opportunity that will be awarded annually to one business or property owner within the Main Street service area.
In April 2011, the first grant was awarded to the Café on Broadway to assist with the installation of a new, appropriate and aesthetic awning that replaced an older, failing one.
To be eligible for the grant, property or business owners must be members of Main Street Siloam Springs, Inc. in good standing. Grant funds may be used for exterior façade improvements only, including façade repairs of wood windows; removal of façade panels or screens; restoration of storefronts and architectural elements; addition/repair of awnings, canopies or marquees; masonry restoration; exterior painting, etc.
The restoration of commercial building exteriors is an important component of the revitalization of our historic district. It is Main Street's wish to work closely with downtown businesses and building owners to offer technical and financial assistance to ensure that, to the greatest extent feasible, our significant architectural heritage is preserved and that the distinctive, original architectural features of our buildings are maintained, reconstructed and rehabilitated.
Grant applications are available at the Main Street office (115 E. University St., Ste. 4), can be downloaded online at www.mainstreetsiloam.com, and may be requested by pho ne: 479.524.4556 or by email: meredith@mainstreetsiloam.com. Grant applications must be approved by the Main Street Siloam Springs Design Committee, and final submissions are due no later than Friday, March 23rd, 2012.
