The Fa’ade Renovation Guidelines were developed by Architect Rick Hauser of In.Site:Architecture, Louise Wadsworth from Alliance for Business Growth, Julie Marshal from Livingston County IDA and a local steering committee. The steering committee was composed of various building owners, business owners, and community leaders.
These guidelines will be used in conjunction with the two grants that are currently available. One is New York Main Street Grant for use in the central business district. The New York Main Street Grant applicants will be evaluated and selected based on these guidelines, as well as other weighted criteria laid out by the grant. The second grant is the Livingston County Fa’ade and Sign Grant Program. This grant will be administered by the County and they will also use the Fa’ade Renovation Guidelines in the evaluation and selection process. This grant is open to several other communities in the county. Both grant applications will be available in January 2011.
