FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT MATCHING GRANT PROGRAMThe viability of downtown Columbia City is vital to the commercial viability of Columbia City as a whole. The purpose of this Façade Improvement Matching Grant Program is to stimulate efforts to improve the street appearance of Columbia City’s commercial and business facades and in doing so, help stimulate the business environment of Columbia City.

The Program is funded by the City of Columbia City and the Columbia City Redevelopment Commission, hereinafter “Commission” and administered through the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce, hereinafter “Chamber”. A Design Review Subcommittee will review applications and make funding recommendations to the Commission for approval. This is a team of local individuals consisting of a City Resident, one Member of the Commission, an Architect, one Downtown Building/Business Owner, and a Representative from the Chamber.

The Program offers up to a $5,000 maximum per applicant (dependent upon the scope of work outlined), which may be under one or more grant applications.All grants awarded (with the exception of the Architectural Assistance Grant) require a matching dollar-for-dollar expenditure by the owner or tenant. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications must be submitted in their entirety, with all the necessary supporting documents attached before they will be considered for review.

Applications will also be reviewed and selected based on their compatibility with the vision and goals of the Commission, the Indiana Main Street program and their impact on the district. The Redevelopment Commission does reserve the right to grant additional money to targeted projects they believe will have a significant impact on the area. Exceptional projects will be brought to the Commission prior to Design Review Subcommittee review and recommendation.

Primary (front-facing) façades, double façades on corner buildings, and façades that are clearly visible from the street right-of-way are eligible for funding. Façade is defined from the sidewalk to the top of the front facing exterior of the building.

Available Funding• Each business/building owner may apply and receive funding up to two (2) times per year or until the maximum match has been reached, whichever comes first. Potential applicants may apply for funding each year. All improvements must comply with local and state ordinances and codes.• Façade Improvement – A 50% reimbursement up to $5,000 for the actual costs.• Awnings – A 50% reimbursement up to $3,000 of actual costs associated with addition, improvement or replacement of awnings.• Signage/Lighting – A 50% reimbursement of up to $3,000 of actual costs associated with addition, improvement or replacement of signs.

2

• Architectural Assistance – A 100% reimbursement up to $1,000 of actual architectural and/or engineering costs associated with façade improvements, providing the owner utilizes the architectural plans in the façade renovation. An accredited architect shall be retained for concept drawings, specifications and consultation to maintain the historical character of building renovation. If the project is deemed to be unfeasable, the Redevelopment Commission will reimburse up to the maximum amount regardless.

• Distribution of Grant Money: Funds will be allocated on a first come first serve basis according to the date of application and subject to the availability of budgeted funds.

• Changes to Project Plans: Any unapproved changes to project plans will void the grant and result in nonpayment of funds.

Funding awards cannot be increased after notification of the initial award. Projects not completed within one (1) year of approval will require re- application.

• Cost Estimates (Bids): The applicant is required to obtain in writing three preliminary cost estimates for all eligible improvements for which funding is being requested. The bids should be itemized for each portion of the improvement project (signage, exterior painting, window repair, etc.). The bids submitted to the review committee shall include only those improvements that are eligible for grant assistance. Bids must be made from the same scope of work by each contractor. Projects that are approved for funding will be based on the lowest of the bids; however, the applicant may select any of the submitted bidders to construct the improvement if the applicant chooses to pay the higher cost.

• Permits & Fees: Grant recipient is responsible for obtaining any required local and/or state permits.

• In Addition: All construction management shall be the responsibility of the applicant. Project costs are not to include the acquisition of real estate property.

Final Approval

Applicant(s) must submit three (3) final contractor itemized bids, including relevant product specifications. After the bids have been submitted, the Review Committee will determine if the project qualifies before making a recommendation to the Commission.

Once construction begins, if the Grantee decides to change the project after issuance of the executed Grant Agreement, they must contact the Review Committee. Any unapproved changes will void the grant.
