The first two recipients of the downtown Washington facade grants have been announced by Discover Downtown Washington. Top Dog Grooming at 209 East Main Street and Daily Design and Furniture Gallery each received the first round of grant money up to $3500 each to improve the front facade of their businesses. The facade program is designed to stimulate quick improvements to the exteriors of the buildings within downtown Washington. The goal of the program is to stimulate retail growth and is designed to reflect quick, tangible, positive change downtown through enhanced aesthetics. This grant was made in partnership with the City of Washington and Daviess County, each sponsoring fifty percent of the grant. Guidelines and criteria for applying can be found online at www.discoverdowntownwashington.com.
