Application - phase_i_facade_grant_application
Grant Program, funded by Main Street Tehachapi, Inc., is established to provide financial assistance for persons within the designated downtown Area making improvements or maintenance repairs to exterior facades. For the purpose of this program, the term façade includes front facades, upper stories and rear facades (that can be easily seen from a public street).Façade Improvement Assistance is available for a partial cost of the improvement project, upon approval by the Design Committee. Each grant amount must be matched by the applicant in either monetary or volunteer sweat equity. Persons seeking a grant must complete this application form in consultation with the Executive Director of Main Street Tehachapi.
Design Committee gets Main Street into top physical shape. Capitalizing on its best assets — such as historic buildings and pedestrian-oriented streets — is just part of the story. An inviting atmosphere, created through attractive window displays, parking areas, building improvements, street furniture, signs, sidewalks, street lights, and landscaping, conveys a positive visual message about the commercial district and what it has to offer. Design activities also include instilling good maintenance practices in the commercial district, enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging appropriate new construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term planning.
