Downtown Revitalization 

- Develops older buildings in your community into assets to attract new or expanding businesses with the state's Building Reuse Program

- Proceeds from the Downtown Revitalization Grant may be used for a wide range of purposes, so long as that purpose advances the downtown revitalization goals of the member community and has the approval of the city/town manager

- Helps stimulate public discussion, enables local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for preservation projects, introduces the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourages financial participation by the private sector

- Provides local governments with grants and expert guidance to improve economic vitality and overcome the unique challenges many rural communities face
