projects and is requesting this funding from the CRA as the final piece
necessary to move forward with these projects. Tom Ziller reviewed the
projects the Downtown BID 8 is requesting grant funds for. Bruce Eberle

they would be separated into four different projects and was seconded by

Dear Al:
As you know, the Community Redevelopment Authority, at their
meeting of April 12, 2006, voted to approve your request for
façade improvement program funds. The Authority voted to award
a grant in the amount of $35,000 for façade improvement costs.
We are excited about the proposed improvements to this very
important and historic downtown building.
Please keep records of expenses associated with this façade
improvement project. Also, it is always interesting to see
photographs of the work as it progresses. Upon completion,
please submit a request to the CRA for payment, including
documentation of your expenses. I will arrange for a “walk
through” of the building to ensure the work done was in
accordance with the CRA’s expectations. I can then process a
request for payment of the CRA grant.
Al, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 385-
5240. Thank you for your interest in improving your property and
contributing to the positive redevelopment efforts in the downtown
area.
Sincerely,
Chad Nabity, AICP
